1279 Old Bridgewater Hill Road Bridgewater VT 05035 MLS #5049332

Asa Greene traveled to Vermont in 1783 to establish a farm in the high hills in Bridgewater after serving in the American Revolution. 242 Years later the farmhouse still stands at the end of Old Bridgewater Hill Road after nearly 50 years of careful restoration and renovations made to accommodate an active, growing family. Creatively blending old & new the farmhouse takes advantage of an inspired site overlooking the Ottauquechee (Abnaki translated Bright Water) River with views sweeping from west & Killington Peak to the valley leading to Woodstock a few miles east. Surrounded by 47 acres of fields & forest and sheltered from nor’easter storms the farm is the gateway to exploring wild lands. Nearby you’ll enjoy the peaceful pastimes Vermont is famous for-hiking, biking, snowshoeing, skiing, boarding (8 miles to Bear Mt lifts), snowmobiling, fishing or just hanging out in a hammock with a book you’ve been meaning to read. The home provides a pleasing combination of spacious gathering rooms & secluded private spots all with splendid views of the natural world in all seasons. A handcrafted Post & Beam barn serves as a classic setting for holiday celebrations, guest quarters & a place to protect equipment from winter’s biting cold & wind. Come see for yourself what time & thoughtful stewardship have created.
