Our home is an updated 1826 vintage, center entry colonial farmhouse, located at 3962 U.S. Route 2 in Marshfield, Vermont. It has over 2,500 square feet of living space. We are located 11 miles from Montpelier. We have lived in this wonderful house since 1987. This home has been in our family since the 1960's when it was still a working farm. Our property is situated on a total of 25+ acres of land which is spread over both sides of scenic Route 2, a two lane road. The entire property was surveyed in December. The buyer has the option of purchasing all 25+ acres, or just the house and 14.35 acres. With the latter comes an in ground swimming pool, a heated/air conditioned cabana that sleeps four with 1/2 bath, a stocked trout pond, and a detached four car garage. A spacious insulated work shop is attached to the house and is heated with a Vermont Castings wood stove. An additional 11.62 acres of land can be purchased on the opposite side of Route 2 which includes six tourist cabins, (one is a double cabin) each have knotty-pine interiors with a double bed, a sink, shower, and toilet. A linen shed holds supplies and the electric hot water heater. We rented the cabins as nightly-rentals until a few years ago when our work schedules made operating the cabins impractical for two aging baby-boomers whose professional lives leave little time for much else. The cabins have a separate septic system. The "cabin-side" acreage is situated high up on a knoll overlooking the Winooski River. The property includes a significant stretch of river frontage, on both sides of the river.The Winooski River boasts great canoeing with excellent trout fishing and abundant wildlife for viewing. In December, 2006 an engineer designed a septic plan for the 11.62 acres, which will allow a house to be built on that property. (There is room for another house on the property.) Our cabins are known as the "Wallinda Cabins"-you can find some photographs of them via Google on the Internet. Towels, linens, and all bedding are included in the sale price and the cabins could be operational for the 2009 tourist season. The majority of the property consists of mowed lawns and fields. The fields are suitable for raising/pasturing livestock, horses or crops.We have a large tilled garden to the rear-side of the house. Whitetailed deer, moose, turkey, rabbits, fox, woodchucks, duck, geese, owls, and many varieties of song birds all live and visit our land. Our well maintained house has three large bedrooms upstairs and one on the first floor. (Dormers were added in the 1960's.) Most of the plumbing and wiring has been recently updated. Full baths up and down, completely new about 6 years ago. The spacious eat-in kitchen was entirely renovated in 1989, from the floor to ceiling. The kitchen has a bricked archway and fan over the stovetop. An island has a functional overhanging butcher-block top with cabinets over and under. The first floor has a huge 20X14 dining room, a large living room with granite fireplace that is open into a wet-bar room. The dining room has a hardwood floor, the living room a wide-plank pine floor. The house has a new enclosed and heated entry room/office area with lots of glass. A country-porch with wide steps leads down into the private back yard. A roof covers the back porch, so rain will not put a damper on summer barbeques. (We use the gas and the charcoal barbeques all winter as well.) The house has an oil-hot air furnace and a separate wood-coal furnace that also feeds the hot-air system. We have two sources of water, a deep artesian well and a spring. 2,800 feet of plastic pipe (and gravity) delivers ice-cold pure Vermont spring water from the hillside behind our house (deeded spring rights on adjoining wood land) into an enclosed 500 gallon cement cistern in our basement. A modern ultra-violet purification and filter system ensures germ-free water, in compliance with State of Vermont hotel regulations. The house has Dish-Network, DSL., a large walk-in attic, and features a new standing-seem metal roof. The house with the 14.35 acres is priced for a quick sale at $299,999. The 11.62 acres with the cabins and river frontage (includes a great mountain-view) is available for an additional $120,000., an exceptional price for this excellent property.
