5680 Route 30 Cornwall, VT 05753

Elegant and well maintained 1814 center hall colonial with wide pine plank floors throughout. This 4 bedroom 3 bath house sits on 5 acres in desirable Cornwall, just a few miles from Middlebury College. The land, bordered on the south by a permanent stream, is certified organic and there is a large tilled garden area ready for you to plant your favorite veggies. The mostly open land is perfect for sheep, goats, and poultry, not to mention horses. Along the edges you'll find mature sugar maples providing shade in the summer and sap for syrup in the spring. Fruit trees include apple, pear, peach, and cherry. As for the house, all rooms are large and inviting. In the winter you will love the west-facing sun room (with hot tub!) and the propane fueled Jotul in the living room. The large country kitchen is both functional and welcoming. The huge, mostly finished attic has a whole house fan and is ready for storage or conversion to more living space. The expansive room over the garage, which the town calls a bedroom, has a separate entrance, heat, and bathroom and would make a great home office or accessory apartment. That's not all: you also get a large heated garage/outbuilding--with water and electricity--for your cars, your hobbies, your business, or your chickens. Bonus: Green Mountain views for free.
