Welcome to Fog Valley.Tucked onto 10+ mostly open acres framed by neighboring open land and hayed fields, this home offers exceptional privacy, usable outdoor space and sweeping pastoral and mountain views. Set well back along a private drive and sheltered by mature trees, it feels wonderfully secluded yet stays convenient to Bristol, Middlebury and Vergennes. The redesigned floor plan puts the living where the views are. Upstairs, vaulted ceilings, abundant windows and an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area create a bright, airy gathering space, along with a sunroom, flexible home office/bonus space, half bath and deck off the dining area. Three bedrooms, a full bath and laundry room sit together on the walk-out lower level, naturally cooler in summer and cozy in winter. Flexible heat comes from a propane hot-water system serving baseboard and radiant floor, plus a wood pellet stove. Recent updates: 2023 Owens Corning roof, new stainless kitchen appliances, fresh interior paint and new flooring. The grounds are made for growing, with mature trees and flowering shrubs plus metal raised garden beds that are ready to plant. The owners have grown fruit, vegetables and flowers here for years. Under the stars or on a summer afternoon, you can enjoy the swings beneath the pergola draped in edible grapevines beside the crabapple trees. A clothesline, chicken coop and large shed with a new metal roof add utility and storage, while about a quarter-mile of cedar-post, tension-wire fencing runs along one edge of the property. The setting shifts beautifully with the seasons, from brilliant fall color to snowy winter views up the valley, where moose have crossed the open fields. The nearby New Haven River offers swimming and fly-fishing, with hiking, skiing and more throughout the region. Employment, culture and recreation opportunities all well within reach. Private without being isolated, room to garden, explore, gather, work from home or simply enjoy the view.

Welcome to 298 Biddle Road - a one-of-a-kind off-grid homestead set on 5.03 private acres at the end of the road in Lincoln, Vermont. This contemporary octagonal home offers 2,200 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and sweeping views of Mt. Abraham and the Green Mountain National Forest. Originally designed as a teaching facility, the home features an open-concept main level with 10-foot ceilings, expansive panoramic windows, and exceptional natural light. This is a project property - and that is part of its honest charm.

Bring your vision, your builder, and your imagination - properties like this, with acreage and views like these, don't come along often. The land delivers what new construction can't replicate: 5.03 wooded acres of true seclusion, framed by panoramic mountain views and the privacy of being the last house on the road. Additional outbuildings include a chicken coop, a small cabin in the woods with power, and an outhouse - assets a homesteader, off-grid enthusiast, or short-term rental investor can lean into. Upstairs, four private rooms include a primary bedroom with inspiring views of Mt. Abraham - Vermont's natural beauty greets you in every season. Location is the bonus: 10 minutes to Bristol, 25 minutes to Middlebury, and 45 minutes to Burlington and the airport. Mad River Glen, Sugarbush, and the Long Trail are all nearby, putting skiing, hiking, mountain biking, and four-season Vermont adventure right at your doorstep. A blank canvas with mountain views, true privacy, and unmatched potential. Schedule your tour of 298 Biddle Road, Lincoln, Vermont, today.
Built in 1884, this historic home has lived many lives - town post office, shoemaker’s workshop, and community anchor. Today, with strong structural bones, soaring ceilings, and thoughtful renovations already underway, it’s ready to welcome its next chapter. Significant improvements have been completed, including cellulose and spray foam insulation, floor stabilization, reinforced rafters, fully updated electrical and plumbing systems, several new windows, and a newly lined chimney. With much of the essential structural and mechanical work in place, the next owner can focus on bringing their vision to life through finishes and design. With over 2,500 above-grade square feet, the home’s generous size and flexible layout offer a variety of possibilities. One wing is already underway as a potential separate rental unit, but could easily be reimagined to suit your needs, as a first-floor primary suite, a spacious home office, or private guest quarters. Upstairs has roughed-in plumbing for two bathrooms. Outside, a classic barn and a level, open lot provide even more potential, whether for storage, hobbies, or simply enjoying the surrounding space. You'll also find blackberries, blueberries, grapes, and apples dotting the property. Ideally located in the heart of Lincoln Village, you’ll find local amenities and a strong sense of community just outside your door. Enjoy the nearby General Store for a snack and a chat, live music at Burnham Hall, a refreshing swim in the river across the street, or a baseball game at the nearby recreation field. This is a rare opportunity to complete a historic renovation with major infrastructure improvements already in place. All that’s left is your vision - and the chance to shape what this home becomes next.
