3136 POMFRET RD Pomfret, VT 05053

The Pomfret Valley is one of the loveliest places in Vermont with the patchwork of fields and forests reflecting the historic pattern of settlement by farmer's working the land over a century. This 1880 cape style house and barns wwere home to several generations of farmers who have since 'moved off the land', as the saying goes. The home is set alongside an active brook and the barns are a short walk across the Pomfret Road, which was the customary for farmsteads all along the valley floor. The fileds hank the road with roughly 6 acres on the east side and 18 on the west. The Appalachian Trail abuts the upper portion north of the property. The passing traffic is no longer by horse and wagon and, while the antique residence appears structurally sound; some buyers might consider building a new home in a more private spot. There are several potential sites on each side of the property. Offered in its entirety or alternatively: East Side-FARMHOUSE & 6+/- ACRES at $185,000. West Side-BARNS & 18+/- ACRES $135,000.
