the colt house - this circa 1825 historic vermont farmhouse
has been lovingly stewarded for almost 20 years by the current owners who have
invested in many upgrades while preserving as many of the historic features of
the home as possible. some notable improvements include major infrastructural upgrades
to electrical systems, the basement, boiler, roof, insulation, and most
aesthetically notable - extensive stone walls that surround mature perennial
gardens all framing this gorgeous home. this property provides the
quintessential vermont country living lifestyle year-round – you’ll enjoy
picking apples in fall at neighboring liberty orchards; hear the ringing of
sleigh bells while curled up next to the woodstove in winter as horse drawn
sleighs pass along the large front windows; watch winter turn to spring over
the valley and hills beyond; and savor berries and beautiful flower bouquets
handpicked from your own backyard in summer. expansive rooms throughout the home
are flooded with natural sunlight through modern but period accurate windows.
this property is located within close proximity to brookfield’s famous floating
bridge - a popular fishing and swimming attraction at nearby sunset lake
(formerly known as colt pond) and the quaint “pond village” featuring the newly
restored green trails inn and pond village pub. it is further served by
proximity to the villages of randolph, northfield, and williamstown within less
than a 20-minute drive. vermont’s capital of montpelier is just a 30-minute
drive and both burlington, vt and hanover, nh can be reached in less than an
hour′s drive.
