The simple two-story Vermont farmhouse with its two original barns enjoys views, privacy, serenity, and all the outdoor space one could need to enjoy farming on a small scale or to allow the adjacent farmer to continue haying the large fields. There majority of the land is wooded and offers all sorts of options from leaving nature alone, to trails, to harvesting timber. The house is relatively simple but has a lovely granite countertop kitchen with adjacent dining space. There are two full baths, one on each floor, both with showers. This exceptional offering could make for an ideal primary home, a wonderful second home, or even an investment given the subdivision potential. The secluded upper hayfields would make a superb site for a new home if complete privacy is wanted and still keep the old farmhouse for guests, Airbnb, caretaker, or to tear it down. We don't often see large parcels of land on the market anymore so if acreage is what you're looking for, this is an attractive opportunity. The house and property are located on a dead-end town-maintained road within just 15 minutes of Bennington, VT and Williamstown, MA. Within a 30 minutes drive is the cross country ski center at Prospect Mountain and not much further you can find downhill skiing, lake boating, and all of the wonderful attractions throughout Vermont and the adjacent Berkshires of western MA.
