With features such as a detailed staircase, wainscoting, and a secure vault, the property offers a touch of old-world character alongside practical features for modern business use. The main level provides a welcoming entry, office space, bathroom, and a conference room, while the upper level is a spacious open room with painted beadboard walls and ceiling in soft blue and white, bright and versatile for meetings, collaborative work, or creative use. Ample paved parking adds convenience for staff and visitors alike. Set on Route 5 and just minutes to I-91, the location offers excellent visibility and easy access.

Whether you’re looking to establish a professional office, creative studio, or other commercial venture, this property presents a unique opportunity to build your vision in the heart of Vermont. The notice and publication must be provided at least 30 days prior to the proposed conveyance. If five percent of legal voters in town sign a petition objecting to the proposed conveyance, then the selectboard must provide for the proposed conveyance to be voted on at a duly warned special or annual town meeting

This property has been largely updated over the years. Situated on just over 24 acres in the village of Barnet, this former Bed & Breakfast could easily be reopened as a Bed & Breakfast offering 4 rooms immediately, and 3 additional could be brought online with a few updates. If the new owner desires a Bed & Breakfast, the seller is willing to help guide the new owner through the process of reopening. The possibilities are many with this property. Boasting 2 kitchens, this could be a quaint bakery / coffee shop, or a relaxing destination wellness center and day spa. There are four porches overlooking the property's 24 landscaped and wooded acres. The grounds could be opened to expand to additional guest cottages privately situated in the woods. The property is very well suited for solar, organic gardening, or an equine therapy retreat. There is an unfinished space is the lower level of the former barn that is prepped for radiant heat and awaiting completion. The Old Homestead is conveniently located close to Interstate 91, and 93. From the Inn you have only a twelve minute commute to St Johnsbury and the world renowned St. Johnsbury Academy, and an hour to Dartmouth College and Medical Center in Hanover, Montpelier, or the Canadian border. This property is very near the Kingdom Trails, excellent skiing, hiking, kayaking, and all of Vermont’s natural beauty. This operation could be turn key, or slight adjustments would make this a very strong income property.
