Steeped in Vermont history and surrounded by more than 80 acres of fields, woods, and walking trails, this beautifully preserved Newfane farmhouse offers the rare opportunity to own a property where timeless character and modern comfort come together. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, country retreat, or recreational property, this is a place to slow down and enjoy the beauty of every season. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, wide plank wood floors, exposed hand-hewn beams, and thoughtfully updated living spaces that remain true to the home's historic roots. The renovated kitchen offers granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a spacious center island that naturally becomes the gathering place for family and friends. Three original working fireplaces create warmth and character throughout the home. One of the home's most remarkable features is its fully functional beehive oven, a rare piece of early New England craftsmanship that continues to be used today. Traditionally heated by a wood fire, these domed brick ovens retain their heat long after the embers are removed, making them ideal for baking and slow roasting. The current owners still enjoy using the oven to bake fresh homemade breads, pies, and even batches of granola as the oven gently cools, carrying on a tradition that has been part of Vermont farmhouses for generations. It is a truly special feature that connects the home's rich history with everyday living. Outside, the property is equally inviting. Wander through the simple perennial gardens, tend to the established vegetable gardens, relax beside the small pond, or explore the extensive acreage that offers exceptional privacy and endless opportunities for hiking, snowshoeing, wildlife watching, hunting, maple sugaring, or simply enjoying the peaceful Vermont landscape. Located just minutes from the historic village of Newfane, with easy access to Brattleboro, Mount Snow, and Stratton Mountain.
