Some properties simply offer a place to live. Others tell a story.Lovingly restored, thoughtfully improved, and unlike anything else on the market, this remarkable Vermont property blends the character of an 1860s farmhouse with the functionality of a modern country estate. Original craftsmanship remains throughout, including the beautifully hand-carved front door and the home's original mechanical spiral doorbell, preserving details that simply cannot be recreated today. Every improvement has respected the home's history while creating comfortable, everyday living.Beyond the house, the property continues to surprise. A substantial 50' x 30' steel building provides exceptional space for equipment, hobbies, storage, or business use. Hidden inside is one of the property's most extraordinary features: a professionally installed commercial-grade Armorstor modular security vault. Whether used for valuable collections, business records, secure storage, or a unique home business, it is a feature seldom found in a private residence. Set on 11.9 acres, the land offers open space, privacy, and long-term flexibility. Professional soil investigations have already been completed across multiple locations on the property, providing valuable information for future planning and development. Equally impressive are the extensive improvements completed in recent years, including a new well in 2025, beautifully renovated upstairs bathroom, new porch, updated exterior and storm doors, new storm windows, added attic insulation, heat tracing, replacement of major cast iron plumbing with PVC, a pellet stove, new basement access and stairs, and a new oil tank in 2022. These thoughtful investments provide the confidence of modern infrastructure while preserving the warmth and authenticity of the home's historic character. Whether you're searching for a beautifully restored Vermont farmhouse, a property with exceptional workshop space, room to grow, or simply a home unlike anything else
