Property Description
Discover Berry Hill Farm, an exceptional Vermont estate where inspired design, extraordinary craftsmanship, and natural beauty come together in one remarkable setting. Offering privacy, versatility, and a deep connection to the landscape, this unique property encompasses 15.52 acres across two separately deeded parcels, creating a rare offering for a Southern Vermont retreat. The contemporary main residence is designed to embrace its surroundings, with expansive windows framing peaceful woodland and pond views while filling the home with natural light. Three spacious bedrooms, inviting gathering spaces, a charming three-season porch provide a warm and welcoming environment for enjoying Vermont’s ever-changing seasons. A detached three+bay garage w/a lovely one bedroom apartment offers exceptional flexibility for guests, extended family, caretaker, or potential rental opportunities while maintaining privacy from the main home. Beyond the residence stands one of the property’s most remarkable features: a spectacular custom post-and-beam barn handcrafted by renowned Vermont timber framer Rob Wadsworth. Showcasing soaring ceilings, an expansive open interior, and timeless craftsmanship, this architectural centerpiece offers endless possibilities as a workshop, artist’s studio, event space, recreational gathering area, or showcase for a treasured collection. A solar panel system complements the property’s design and energy-conscious living. The surrounding landscape is equally captivating, highlighted by three owner-curated ponds ideal for fishing, swimming, canoeing, or simply relaxing beside the water. Direct access to the Catamount Trail, Cook Brook, and bordering State Forest provide opportunities for year-round exploration and outdoor enjoyment. Berry Hill Farm is more than a home; It’s a destination where exceptional craftsmanship and an extraordinary landscape create an ideal lifestyle located near world-class skiing, charming villages, dining, & local amenities.
