About this Property
Welcome to South View Homestead, nearly 5 private acres enfolded by more than 2, 000 acres of conserved working and wild lands in highly desirable Shelburne. South View Homestead sits within Shelburne’s coveted Cheesefactory Road neighborhood, characterized by Shelburne Pond and the surrounding mosaic of farms, meadows, forests, wetlands and wildlife habitat; an increasingly rare landscape for this part of Vermont. Even more unique, South View is one of only two private residences nestled between Bread & Butter Farm and Killeen Crossroads Farm, the 2 anchor farms of The Agrihood Collective, a local nonprofit cultivating community through fresh local food and land-based education, and securing farmland for regenerative agriculture with farming practices intended to nurture healthy soils, clean water, biodiversity and wildlife habitat. Walk or bicycle in either direction for fresh food and flowers grown practically in your extended backyard, or stop for coffee and a bite at Blank Page Café, an Agrihood co-founder located at Bread & Butter Farm. Mature woodland and a micro apple orchard surround the house, providing privacy from the road and neighboring residence before opening to southern solar exposure and sweeping views of the Green Mountains, including Mt. Mansfield and Camel’s Hump. A thoughtfully sited, era-popular architectural style c.1969 Garrison Colonial offering 10 rooms, 4 bedrooms, 3 baths with updated kitchen and baths, fresh interior paint and well-maintained systems, an attached 2-car garage and separate 1-bay garage/workshop, completes the offering. Location is excellent, Burlington International Airport, Burlington, Lake Champlain, restaurants, arts and cultural life, recreational activities, groceries and services all within easy reach. South View Homestead is a private sanctuary within an uncommon agroecological landscape that reminds us restoration is not something we schedule, it is something we cultivate through our relationship with place.
