Presiding over the region's majestic Northeast Highlands landscape and abutting CC Putnam State Forest, Worcester Range Farm is a proper Vermont hill farm offering privacy, acreage, a large pond and views. The energy-efficient, 5-bedroom, 6-bath, 3,564-square-foot farmhouse is surrounded by 649.45 acres and makes the most of its quiet, end-of-road setting. Designed and constructed in 2020 with an open floor plan and fiber optic internet, the main residence was carefully sited to offer southern exposure and views of the Worcester Range and the pond from almost every room. The farmhouse includes a porch, a first-floor primary suite, a 2-car attached garage with storage, a walk-out basement, and a wood elevator. Plus: a shiplapped, three-season room holding a hot tub and pizza oven, with views of the surrounding lawn and perennial gardens. Additional outbuildings include a renovated, 2-story barn with four bays, storage, and a newer, 3-bay equipment barn. There is approximately 4 miles of trails and a mountain stream-fed, 14-foot-deep pond complete with dock and swim ladder and stocked with native trout. Connecting to the Town Forest trail, the property abuts both the 400-acre Middlesex Town Forest and the 12,000-acre CC Putnam State Forest. A short distance to both Stowe Mountain and Sugarbush ski resorts and close proximity to I89 make this an ideal location for all of your outdoor adventures. Property is subject to a conservation easement held by VLT. Showings begin 9/23/24
