Description

Historic Rowen Farm offers a rare blend of authentic Vermont character, privacy and turnkey ease. Set on 77+ acres of meadow and woodland, the circa-1812 Federal farmhouse has been extensively restored while preserving its soul: original wide-plank floors and exposed beams, original doors and period details, and four wood-burning fireplaces. Inside, approx 3, 860 square feet of light-filled living space unfolds with an easy, welcoming flow. The renovated kitchen opens to breakfast, dining and living spaces where abundant windows frame the surrounding landscape. Covered porches and open decks invite you to enjoy the meadows and mountain ridgeline views in every season. A generous mudroom with built-in storage, ski and gear room, adjoining laundry and outdoor shower make returning from the mountain or trail effortless. The four-bedroom, five-bath layout is equally suited to quiet weekends or a full house. A first-floor ensuite guest room offers privacy, while a library/office with built-ins and fireplace leads to a separate wing with bonus room, 3/4 bath and exterior entrance, offering exceptional flexibility with potential to evolve into a private first-floor suite. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a fireplace, built-in storage and private bath, joined by two additional bedrooms and a shared full bath. Outside, open meadows, woodland trails, restored stone walls and brooks create a private four-season playground. The meadows are maintained by a local farmer, allowing the pastoral setting to remain remarkably easy to enjoy. A classic barn/garage with loft and lean-to adds character and practical storage. Major systems restored in 2003 with a full basement added. Four-bedroom wastewater system permitted in 2022 and new shingle roof completed in 2026. High-speed fiber internet supports remote work. Offered largely furnished with limited personal exclusions. Approximately 8 miles to Okemo, with convenient access to Woodstock, Killington and the Upper Valley.
