1089 River RD New Haven, VT 05472

This beautiful close-to-town, yet rural location features a sunny, spacious, well-kept, historic farmhouse situated on 170 acres of pristine, working farmland on the New Haven River mostly in VT Land Trust. Both the home and the gambrel barn are listed on the Vermont historic registry and are eligible for National registry. Originally built by the Nash family in 1831, this property has a long history of being a place of both respite and gathering. The home was built by a master craftsman and has remained in excellent condition. It includes beautiful open, sunny spaces and an open floor plan on the main floor that is rare for old farmhouses. There are 4 large, comfortable bedrooms and 2 smaller rooms that can be used as bedrooms or office space. Many of the floors in the home are wide board pine including a room that has original pumpkin pine flooring. While this home would be perfect for a large family, the options are endless with the current owners running home businesses that include an organic vegetable operation, popular farmstay bnb, and a place for community events and weddings. With its river location, this property has plenty of rich farmable land, abundant bird, fish and wildlife, and much opportunity to enjoy your summer days dipping in the river and relaxing on or fishing from the many secluded pebble beaches. Besides thousands of feet of river frontage that border the entire south side of the property, there are also 65 acres of wooded land with walking trails.
