Like a village out of a storybook, the hamlet of East Barnard is nestled in some of Vermont's most glorious country. Unsurprisingly, this settlement has been home to some of our state's most notable artists and characters, and it continues to attract those looking for something unique - far enough off the beaten path to feel like an escape, but close enough to places like Woodstock (20 minutes) and Hanover (35 minutes) to feel reasonable. Among the village's most venerable buildings, 98 East Barnard Road has been both a store and a blacksmith's shop; its beamed ceilings and wide-planked attic floors tell the tale of a long history. In its more modern iteration, this charming three-bedroom farmhouse sits on a sunny two and a half acres, with excellent solar exposure, an apple orchard, a babbling brook, gardens, newly rebuilt porches, a large fenced yard, fiber-optic internet, and several opportunities for expansion. Well-maintained and in an excellent school system, this historic home is ready to welcome its next steward.
