Properties Near 79 Peacham Groton Road Peacham, VT

In 1863, farmers Ralph and Nancy Blanchard built their new home and moved to this idyllic village farm in South Peacham. With them they brought a horse, a cow and enough wood for the coming winter. Today, an EV charger resides where the hitching post once stood. Change, but in all the important ways, it’s the same place. History is a palpable feature. The apple trees, garden, blueberries, raspberries and brook are all still here. As then, the wood for winter is already in the barn with next year’s drying in the south field. The house was partially rebuilt in 2008 with an open floor plan and radiant heat that integrates kitchen and living space around a large Hearthstone stove. The space was tightly crafted with hi-e windows and spray foam insulation. Glass doors open to a wrap-around porch with a panoramic view of the property. There are 4 bedrooms and 2 baths in the house. The primary bedroom is spacious, filled with light, with wide plank floors and a walk-in closet. The timber frame barn is solidly crafted with radiant heat, in the lower work/recreation space and cathedral ceilings in the upstairs loft apartment. It's a magical and inspiring space for hosting friends, family or for extra income. And speaking of magical places, Peacham is a special town with a vibrant, active, and caring community. The Peacham K-6 school is exemplary and the town offers school choice after 6th grade. There is magic in history and there is a lot of history in Peacham. The house, the community... It's a package deal.

Some homes simply grow more extraordinary with time. This beautifully preserved Vermont farmhouse is a remarkable example, where generations of thoughtful care have safeguarded the craftsmanship and character that make it so special. While its original charm has been carefully preserved, meaningful improvements including spray foam insulation, updated wiring, beautifully refinished original floors, and a freshly painted interior ensure the home is as comfortable to live in today as it is beautiful to admire. The home is filled with hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, built-in cupboards, paneled fireplaces, and period hardware, creating warmth and character that simply can't be recreated. A spacious entry room welcomes you inside and offers flexibility as a mudroom or sitting room, complete with a generous walk-in closet. Glass-paned doors lead to the inviting living room where a beautifully paneled fireplace wall, built-in storage, and tall ceilings showcase the home's timeless character. Just beyond, the kitchen embraces its farmhouse roots with weathered floors, exposed beams, a vintage cookstove, and an effortless charm that feels collected over centuries rather than designed all at once. The main level also includes two spacious bedrooms, each with its own fireplace and built-in storage, along with a full bath featuring a clawfoot tub, separate walk-in shower, and convenient laundry area. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms and a 3/4 bath provide room for family, guests, or creative space. Outside, a welcoming front patio, covered rear porch, and open deck overlooking a small private pond offer peaceful places to relax. Apple trees, perennial gardens, and open space invite gardening and outdoor enjoyment, while a beautifully crafted workshop offers space for woodworking, hobbies, or a studio. Surrounded by a quintessential Vermont landscape, this special property is where history, nature, and everyday living comes together.
