Property Description
"Making a house yours sometimes means building upon all that came before.” No home embodies this more than this 6-acre homestead featuring an 1840s Greek Revival Farmhouse and the oldest Red Oak in town. A vast agricultural landscape borders the property to the west, sloping towards the Black River valley’s x-country ski trails, offering sunset views of Craftsbury Common and the Green Mountains beyond. The current owner, like those before, organically farmed here and also established a "Writer's Retreat" in the attached studio apartment, which is suitable for a vacation rental, home office, massage business, art studio… and is equipped with a kitchenette, romantic gas fireplace, and 3/4 bath. Additional improvements make this historic gem the warm and inspiring home that it is today. The current owner installed a standing seam metal roof, spray foam insulation, and energy star windows and appliances in addition to using non-toxic interior paints and cleaning products. They also brought in power and water to the barn where they raised calves, sheep, chickens, as well as planting plums, raspberries, rhubarb and asparagus to supplement the property’s numerous apple trees. Conveniently located 4 minutes from Craftsbury Village, and 10 minutes from the Craftsbury Outdoor Center, this home is located amid arguably one of the most beautiful and inspiring places on earth.
