This renovated, well-maintained, 1850 farmhouse, on 40 acres of fields and forest, is tucked away on a quiet country road, yet only 5 miles from Okemo and the lakes region. Integrating a blend of old and new; an open, bright, modern kitchen, with granite countertops and a woodstove, gives space for large gatherings. The elegant living area, accented with a classic fireplace, antique moulding, beams, and pocket doors, also opens to a large bluestone patio overlooking mountains, sunsets and pastures. The first floor also boasts the original formal entry, a laundry room, mudroom and half bath. On the second floor, you'll find a bright, spacious primary bedroom, with a fireplace and modern, full, ensuite bathroom with stone tile, radiant floor heat and soaking bathtub. Down the hall you'll find the second bedroom, a separate 3/4 bath, and a large third bedroom, with vaulted ceilings, and windows overlooking the fields. Off of this bedroom, is a large, sunny, flex suite with so much potential; make it another primary suite, a studio or office space. This space opens to its own deck with separate entrance. The Gambrel-style barn has stalls for two horses and an attached run-in shed, for two more horses. There's an attached two-car garage, a 24x24 artist's studio, plus a sweet, antique milk house. The forty acres include garden space and trails for hiking, cross-country skiing, sledding, horseback riding and VAST trail access. (35 acres are enrolled in the Vt. Current Use Program).
