An expansive 228-acre estate that has been lovingly restored and meticulously maintained by only two families over the past 182 years. This grand property offers unparalleled privacy and a serene escape, with rolling pastures, five barns, an historic stone smokehouse, and even a bell to summon the family home after a fulfilling day in the fields. The stately 3,500 sq. ft. colonial residence, with its timeless charm, features five bedrooms and four baths, providing generous space for both comfort and entertaining. The home's grand living spaces and a large, inviting eat-in kitchen—the heart of the house—are perfect for gatherings, whether intimate or celebratory. Four fireplaces infuse the home with warmth and character, while the elegant library/study, adorned with rich wood paneling, offers a refined space for work or relaxation. Every detail of this home speaks to the historic craftsmanship and care that has preserved its legacy, offering a rare blend of charm and modern comfort. The property also includes a beautifully renovated in-law or nanny apartment for flexible living arrangements, as well as a second house on the grounds that could be restored for additional living space. Located in the close-knit, community-focused town of Orwell, Vermont, Independence Farm offers the best of both worlds—peaceful rural living with the convenience of being minutes to Middlebury VT.
