Marshfield, VT | 120 Darling Road

Rich in history, this Classic 1800's Vermont Farmhouse on 51.5+/- acres is surrounded by nature with it's end-of-the-road setting, mature mixed forest, small orchard and established gardens....but still only 1.1 miles from Marshfield Village services. The yester-year charm of a cast iron wood cookstove in the spacious farm kitchen, honey-colored wide-plank softwood flooring, nooks, crannies and built-in storage. Fabulous 3-season enclosed sun porch, covered deck and 34' covered rear porch. Currently configured as a 3-BR main residence with an attached-yet-private 2-BR apartment with screened porch, which could easily be re-incorporated to recreate the 5-BR, 2-bath dwelling giving you plenty of spread! Over the past 48 years, the current owners have welcomed friends, family, and short-term rentals in the "in-law" wing. 16'x20' Detached workshop/storage building. Play house, wood shed, tool shed and more. Generator with transfer switch included. Reasonably level land parcel has substantial road frontage on two town roads, making an ideal setting for a family compound or retreat. Marshfield Village has two general stores and a very active Jaquith Public Library, known for it's variety of programs, concerts, play groups and community gardens. The 30.3 mile Marshfield Rail Trail is right around the corner, offering hiking, biking, running, walking, XC ski trailblazing and snow shoeing, eventually leading to the Groton State Forest. The Lords Hill Natural Area is one of the oldest old-growth forests in Vermont, a 25-acre stand with remnants of ancient hardwoods (sugar maple, yellow birch, ask and hemlock). The quiet enjoyment of this destination, at the end of the day, is truly a rare and relaxing! Invest in your own joy!
