Our family’s 200 year old farmhouse is quiet and private, but not isolated – up a well maintained road from the village of Pittsfield, Vermont, surrounded by our 70 acres of meadows and woods, and adjoined by the Green Mountain National Forest. The large living room includes several seating areas: one surrounding the fieldstone fireplace with wood stove, another for watching the plasma TV, and a third with old-fashioned checkerboard game table – offering a cozy, welcoming place to warm-up and relax after winter activities.

The pine paneled eat-in country kitchen looks out onto the hillside behind the house. There are two spacious bedrooms (each with a queen sized bed) and a full bath downstairs. Two more large bedrooms (one with twin beds, the other with a double bed and a twin bed) and a small half bath are located on the second floor, which is accessed by ladder stairs. The house has a first floor washer and dryer, plus wireless, CD/radio player, DVD player, and DISH network.

There is a two car garage with room to store your skis, a small shed/barn with room for kayaks or snowmobiles, and sufficient parking. Located next to VAST hiking and snowmobile trails and near the Long Trail, this is a peaceful oasis just a 15 minute drive to the Killington Road and 22 miles to shopping, airport and Amtrak in Rutland; charming country stores with wine cellar, restaurant and fuel are available in the village.

You will have ready access to the beauty and recreational opportunities Vermont offers, then can relax in a comfortable country home. The spectacular five-mile view will greet you in the morning and the peace and quiet will calm you at night.
