Rise to the hum of possibility on 42 acres of untamed Leicester land, where this bold farmhouse dares you to redefine rural living. Inside, weathered beams pulse with character, blending seamlessly with a sleek, custom-renovated bathroom that pops with personality. Three bedrooms provide a haven, with room upstairs to craft a second bath for ease. Out back, two rugged barns beg for livestock or your wildest DIY dreams, while a sugarhouse and a high-tech outbuilding-wired with water, power, and a heat pump-ignite ideas of a bustling farm hub or a sunlit creative studio. Optional greenhouses stand ready to fuel a veggie dynasty or a floral empire, with an electric car charger to keep your green game strong. Roam the vast fields, chase epic Vermont sunsets that blaze in scarlet and amber, or crash on a camping platform under a star-drenched sky.
