Circa 1850s fully renovated Vermont farmhouse less than 15 miles from Jay Peak

The Farmhouse

This fully renovated rustic 1850s farmhouse is conveniently located on a main road in E. Berkshire, less than 15 miles from Jay Peak Ski Resort & Waterpark, and less than 30 miles from Smugglers Notch and the nearby Stowe Ski Area.

Nestled in the mountains, yet conveniently located on a main road, this farmhouse has been family owned since 1970, with a completed total renovation in 2022. The property features 4 bedrooms with a total of 6 beds, and 2 bathrooms, with all new appliances for your comfort. Come enjoy rocking chairs on the front porch facing the mountains or a cozy fire pit in the back with a nearby babbling brook.

The labor of love restoring The Farmhouse provides modern conveniences while keeping the old-world charm of the original post and beam construction. All-new lumber was milled by the owner/arborist mostly from local trees. Most of the furnishings and all of the cabinetry, countertops, and vanities have been handcrafted by a local woodworking artisan, again using milled lumber from the locale, thus adding to the rustic appeal of this charming Farmhouse.
