Set on seven beautiful acres in Montgomery, this historic Vermont farmhouse offers an increasingly rare combination of character, natural beauty, privacy, and a life connected to the landscape and seasons. Inside, high ceilings, warm wood floors, two working fireplaces, and abundant natural light create inviting spaces with a wonderful sense of scale. Large, low-set windows bring the outdoors into nearly every room, framing views of the brook, ferns, mature maples, rhododendrons, gardens, and changing Vermont scenery. The garage opens directly into a spacious mudroom, with a full bath that also connects to the family room. Multiple living spaces offer flexibility, while upstairs are three bedrooms and a large, easily accessed attic providing exceptional storage. Step onto the screened back porch and listen to the brook and birds in the morning. The grounds feature mature apple trees, blackberry and raspberry bushes, lilacs, peonies, rhododendrons, and towering maples. Open lawn transitions to woods, with trails winding through the back acreage into the glades and along the rocky brook. Out the front door, morning sunshine invites walks along the beautiful gravel road with sweeping mountain views. Across the road, a deep, clear swimming hole offers a refreshing summer escape. The land opposite the property is not buildable, helping preserve the privacy and open setting. Jay Peak is a short drive away for skiing and year-round recreation, with forests and public lands offering endless opportunities to explore. Though wonderfully rural, Montgomery has a vibrant community with an art center, café, local events, and active village life.
