The Stone Cottage began its long history as a schoolhouse built as the Civil War was nearing its conclusion in 1864. Scottish craftsmen from the Aberdeen region constructed the sturdy structure using a technique referred to as 'snecked ashlar' with hewn ashlar stones laid in horizontal and vertical courses with spaces filled with smaller 'snecks joined with mortar. The random patchwork yields a strong and handsome bond that endures the harsh climates of Scotland and Vermont. Comprehensively renovated 25 years ago the home centers around great room featuring a substantial stone fireplace with vaulted wood paneled ceiling and a wall of windows overlooking the Williams River below. The gracious country kitchen is accented with custom cherry cabinets, built-in dish hutch, granite topped island and expansive bay windows next to the kitchen table and a sliding glass doors opening out to a wide stone paved patio. The light and airy primary bedroom and ensuite bath is located on the second floor, and the private guest quarter bedroom is sited on the lower level with walk-out access to a sitting area above the scenic waterfront. The detached 3 level gambrel barn-garage offers potential for a variety of uses including a workshop and additional residential accommodation. Chester's famous 'Stone Village' is nearby and the Okemo Ski is a 20 minute drive away.
The possibilities are endless with this beautiful property that has been in the same family since 1964! You will not find a nicer piece of Vermont land than this, with approx. 34 acres of open pastureland bordered by hundreds of feet of the Williams River. This stream offers some great summertime activities such as swimming and fishing! The house and attached barns can be a showplace with some love, and this property is looking for that person who can bring it back to its former glory days. As they say, the buildings have good bones, so consider this a blank canvas to do whatever you please for renovations. Since it's very original, you can update without having to tear out former "improvements" that might have taken away the antique charm.

You can bring this back to life and use it as a very unique vacation rental or keep it as a very cool place for your kids and grandkids - much cooler than a treehouse! The attached barn is huge and for years it was used as a barn antique store. You could do that again, or you could use it for animals. With the open land which supplies a big supply of hay each year, this property would be great for horses, cows, and other large animals. There is also a sugar house, plus a separate building out front that was also used for the antique business. Several apple trees, a huge rhubarb patch, and more! Don't wait on this one!
