vermont in the 21st century still has places tucked away in
peaceful hills and valleys, where it preserves the enduring patterns of a
working agricultural landscape, where generations have embraced the traditions
of stewardship. these private areas offer a natural refuge from the fast pace
of modern life by connecting to the rhythms of the seasons. newton lane is a
110-acre sanctuary of varied land: open pastures, mature hardwoods, conifers,
fieldstone walls, and a network of springs that supply year-round shelter and
water for wildlife. this rare and iconic property is in the towns of hartford
(101 acres) and norwich (9 acres), near the historic settlement of jericho and
the farmsteads surrounding the upper connecticut river valley. just a short
drive from the centers of commerce, employment, education, and culture in
norwich, hartford, hanover, and lebanon, it provides an extraordinary
opportunity to build a home on land shaped to sustain the needs of a bygone
era. the ideal building site with south and westerly exposure overlooks a wild
apple orchard, 10 acres of open pasture, and sweeping mountain views, capturing
abundant natural light. the cossingham trail network, less than a mile away,
connects directly to the appalachian trail, offering hiking, mountain biking,
cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. the property is just 4 miles from
dartmouth college, 7 miles from dartmouth hitchcock medical center, 5 miles
from white river junction, and 16 miles from woodstock. easy access to i-89 and
i-91 allows convenient travel to boston and new york city. close to everything
you need and a world away from the things you don’t.
