Tunbridge Vermont Real Estate

An opportunity to own 55 acres of Vermont with well established trails throughout and a home that has plenty of room to make your own. The seller has started some of the necessary renovations, although there is more needed for this home to really shine. The home features 3 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom over a full walkout basement and garage. The large great room is circled with windows drenching the room with natural light, and a pellet stove with additional woodstove hook up. The galley kitchen is very rustic but functional, and could be relocated to what is currently the pantry/dining area for a different layout which would increase kitchen space. Also on the main level is a bedroom and full bathroom plus access to the covered back deck which provides natural shade and dry enjoyment of the outdoors. The deck also gives direct access to the stone patio with outdoor shower. Two additional bedrooms and a large loft, open to the living room are on the second level. The seller has created an amazing trail system which traverses through the 55 acres, and offers great mountain biking, hiking, snowshoeing or backcountry skiing. The property is diverse and offers rock crop outs, wetlands, woodlands, trails, and level areas for gardening, goats or chickens. There’s a potential of local and long-distance views with some selective clearing. Bring your imagination!

Located on a quiet country lane overlooking the Cilley Covered Bridge, Hutchinson Cemetery, open hay fields, and the church steeple in the distance, 3 Howe Lane encompasses all of the criteria that a rural Vermont property can offer. Tunbridge is world renowned for the annual Tunbridge Worlds Fair, which showcases the country life that Vermont is known for. The proximity of Tunbridge to the Vermont Law School, Sharon Academy and the Upper Valley Region makes it a highly desirable location with a vibrant community. 3 Howe Lane is a typical 1830 farmhouse that has been fully renovated, upgraded and added onto to allowing for a great family home with plenty of entertaining space. There is also an in laws apartment that could easily be an income producing rental with its' separate entry. There is a separate barn built in 2000. Access is from Howe Lane which is paved as is the driveway. All appliances and utilities are top of the line and the condition of the entire property is excellent.

This warm and welcoming home sits on over 10 acres of woods and open lawn—plenty of space to garden, play, or just enjoy the quiet. Inside, you’ll find a cozy woodstove, spacious kitchen and oversized living room! An addition from the main house is an in-law suite that is perfect for overflow guests or just a great bonus space with its own pellet stove. It has a separate entrance and currently no door/connection into the main space but there is potential for one through the main living room if you wanted one contiguous space. Out back, the massive garage has room for cars, tools, or storing your firewood, and even has a little camp-style hangout area tucked away for taking a break or working on a project. Located on a town-maintained road, this is a spot where you can settle in, spread out, and enjoy the slower pace of Vermont life. Schedule a private showing to view!

Brand new roof, just installed! It is hard to describe the magic of this property. The comment we get the most? "It is?!?" Yes, this property IS off grid. One of the highlights of this home is the thought given to energy efficiency and independence. You can rest assured that you have your own source of power. It has its own solar array, switches to shut off phantom draw, and of course has wood heat with propane Rinnai's as a backup. You are also reducing your impact on the environment. The vaulted ceilings in the living/dining room, the whimsical plaster curved walls despite being just built in 2007. Don't forget about the seemingly endless walking or mountain biking trails that have been maintained on the 18 acres. There is a lovely mountain view when the leaves are down and exceptional privacy in the summer. The gardens are filled with perennials. Fragrant hyacinth, blooming tulips, a gorgeous magnolia tree with a whole devoted terrace to a vegetable garden. A ground floor primary bedroom ensuite makes this exceptionally well suited to single level living. It is currently setup as a two bedroom home, but your septic is designed for 3 bedrooms if you want to close off the existing bonus space in the loft. Only 3.7 miles to the South Royalton green/VT Law School and 8.5 miles from Exit 2 in Sharon for I-89 this property makes for an easy commute. Sellers cannot move until the end of summer.

It was the lilting call of the Hermit Thrush, the almost 300 acres threaded with trails, verdant meadows, magnificent views from Strawberry Hill, the big tree, a spring fed pond and whale rock, which captured the hearts of the owners 40+ years ago. Since this time, the family has lovingly stewarded the land and placed most of the property under conservation easement to preserve in perpetuity. At the top of a private quarter-mile drive, a circa 1972 modern house - designed by Yale-trained architect Don Metz - is sited beside a swimming pond and perennial gardens. Below is a barn with horse stalls, hayloft and a chicken coop. Near the barn is a 3 bedroom farmhouse built in 1998. An extensive trail network is ideal for riding horses, walking, mountain biking and in winter for cross-country skiing. There are summits to reach, picnic spots and a round sauna by the pond to enjoy. Large fields are cropped for hay or used for grazing horses and other livestock. In the 1940s, the farm became home to Camp William James, a base for the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). Inspired by William James' essay The Moral Equivalent of War, the camp brought together Dartmouth and Harvard students for apprenticeships with local farm youth, promoting national service in peacetime. This ethos later influenced the creation of the Peace Corps in 1961. It is said that Eleanor Roosevelt visited the camp and famously used the two-holer outhouse in the backyard.
