Time to get back to a more self-sufficient lifestyle?

Quintessential Vermont farmstead on 11 acres in the Connecticut River Valley. Located just 5 minutes from Walpole, NH and 15 minutes to Putney, VT; convenient to I-91, and Route 5. The house, built in 1890, offers 3 BRs up with a 4th downstairs, or perhaps an office or library...you decide. There is also a large 15x21 eat-in country kitchen, dining room, and a huge 15x25 living room. The 2nd floor has a separate in-law apartment with its own entry and porch. There is an attached storage/wood shed with a heated studio above. The Rinai gas furnace, windows, and shed roof were installed just last year. Other amenities include antique hardwood and softwood floors, and a wrap around farmers porch. The grounds are expansive, and include fruit trees, lilacs, and perennials; combined with lots of parking, this is the perfect spot for a party, wedding, or holiday reunion. The numerous outbuildings include one of the last surviving antique tobacco barn in the state, which is eligible for historic preservation grants, and measures 120x60 feet! This would be a great place for horses. The old milk-house is partially converted into an office with its own furnace, kitchenette, and bath. The back pasture has approximately 7 certified organic acres, and there is also a 1 acre field to the north of the barn. Whether you enjoy 5 star dining, cafes, shops, galleries, canoeing/kayaking, skiing, or just want to get back to a simpler life, this is the place for you. Parents, if schools are on your mind, our very own Westminster Center School was featured on Goodmorning America, for its organic community garden. The Putney School, Vermont Academy, and The Compass School, all private schools, are just minutes away. The house needs a little TLC, and allows you the opportunity to put your own signature on the place. If you want polished, keep looking, but if you want VERMONT, you've come to the right place. Stately, but not pretentious, with lines as simple as they are elegant, you'll find no vinyl siding here, but you will find a slate roof, 9 foot ceilings, stained glass, rosettes, wainscot, a formal 11x16 entry, and yes...even a tire swing. If you've never been to southern Vermont, come and see what all the buzz is about. This place has it all.
