So many discussions with Vermont realtors begin, “I just want a little house on about 5 acres... with some fruit trees and maybe a greenhouse. And a wood stove. I really want a wood stove.” Well here it is! A cute 1870s Victorian on 5 acres with your very own orchard, greenhouse, gazebo, and chicken coop! One wood stove, a kitchen wood cookstove and an antique Glenwood propane cookstove round out the dream. Enter through the timber framed mudroom to the rustic charm of a cozy farmhouse. Through the kitchen to the dining area with some built in bench seating.Two smaller bedrooms, or maybe an office open off the living room. Follow the curved peeled sapling handrail upstairs to the large dormered primary bedroom. An almost finished and never used cabin accompanies the house, perfect for a shop, studio, or guest house (no running water). The grapes and berries extend out across a sloping east facing meadow gathering the morning light across the Otter Creek Valley. This quintessential homestead sits across the meadow from the Historic Wilson Castle yet just a few miles from shopping, entertainment and dining in Rutland. Under a half hour to skiing at Pico and Killington or swimming and boating on beautiful Lake Bomoseen. The dream is here. Grab it with both hands!
