1062 Forrest Road Bridport, Vermont 05734 MLS# 4906708

This is the quintessential antique farmhouse and homestead you have been searching for. Built around 1804 and placed on a modernized cement foundation in the late 1970s. Built-in cabinetry, Rumford fireplaces, original wide plank floors, post-and-beam structure — the house retains plenty of its historic charm and has been carefully preserved. Three bedrooms upstairs: the master bedroom with a private bathroom, two others share a spacious full bathroom with a tub. Living room, dining room, private office, kitchen and a half-bath are on the main level. Gorgeous light throughout, and tranquil views of the fields and a centuries-old marker oak. The basement is a walk out onto a stone patio with spacious views and a great sense of privacy. The basement is ready to be refinished, and already has a Jotul wood-burning stove. An original stone archway is incorporated carefully into the modernized structure. This was once a working sheep-and-goat farm, the barn good for 30 sheep, with additional spaces for poultry, plus fridge and freezer in the barn. 34.4 acres of pastures with several fenced paddocks. There is also a stable for two horses and a tractor shed. Raised vegetable beds, herb garden, flower beds edged in stone, access to a small pond, and mature trees all around make this an attractive and peaceful setting. †
