Wilmington, VT Imagine waking up every day to the beautiful blue and purple-hued mountains in the distance and the gentle, green rolling hills defined by white fences before you - complete with a red, quintessential New England-style covered bridge. At this nine-bed, nine-bath Vermont estate and working farm, you can wake up to just that. This updated farm home is situated on 17 acres and the property features a farmhouse, three-bedroom guesthouse, horse barn and “party barn,” among other buildings.
Built in 1800, the six-bedroom 4,126 s/f farmhouse was recently renovated to be energy-efficient with all new windows, a new boiler, new siding and more were installed. Despite the renovated floors, bathrooms and kitchen, the farmhouse still has a number of features that complement the house’s original charm, such as four, wood-burning brick fireplaces, claw foot tubs and an antique-style stove/oven. With a dining room that can fit more than 14 people, this home is perfect for large families or small families who love to entertain guests.
The horse barn adds both a charm and functionality to the property. With a storage area, hay loft, nine stalls and three separate paddocks which have additional shelters, the barn can provide refuge to the homeowner’s personal horses or stables can be rented out to other equestrian lovers. There is plenty of space between the main house and the barn so privacy is always attainable.
An exciting structure on the property is the 13,280 s/f “party barn” which holds an indoor basketball court and large entertaining spaces. For children, this is the perfect space to unleash that pent up energy! For those wishing to capitalize on the unique space, the barn has played host to weddings, anniversary parties and large family gatherings. The farmhouse also makes a great airbnb.
This property is perfect for outdoor and adventure lovers. Within mere miles of the property, you will find ski trails (Mt. Snow, Stratton), golf courses, hiking trails and numerous lakes for year-round activities.
The property is located at 238 Stowe Hill Rd. For more information, contact Betsy Wadsworth or Heidi Zizza at Sotheby’s International Realty, sothebysrealty.com.
