Orwell, VT | 194 Old Sawmill Road

Nestled in a picturesque, pastoral landscape, this classic farmstead is the perfect setting for your Vermont dream! The property includes a potential building lot across the road with apple & pear trees, and site work showing it could support a 5 bedroom home. Think guest house, family member moving next door- many possibilities! The centerpiece of the property is the 1890s farmhouse that has been meticulously cared for and updated, with a new roof in 2024, updated electric panel and most windows replaced. Weatherization was completed to the home after an energy audit in 2022- including increased basement and attic insulation. A reverse osmosis system was installed for drinking water, and a 10kw solar panel system was added that offsets the power to the property. Enter in through the welcoming, covered front porch entry and wood floors and trim take you throughout the light filled rooms. The country kitchen has a walk in pantry and plenty of storage, and opens up to a sitting area with a wood stove for cozy days. A previous porch was finished off to a large sunroom and mudroom with radiant heat and looks out to the attached deck and the view beyond. The large living room and formal dining room are nearby- along with a first floor laundry room and powder room. The second level has three bedrooms, an office and a full bath- the third floor could be a guest suite or bonus room with its own full bath. Several barns are on the property- one with 7 standing horse stalls, 2 box stalls and two open stalls. Attached to this barn is a former creamery. Amazing butter was created in this structure for 23 years, so 150 amp power, water and floor drains are in this space- consisting of three rooms used for this process. Currently the acreage is enrolled in the current use program to provide tax savings. If you are looking for a serene, country setting for your new home, complete with the land and barns to incorporate into your lifestyle- this might just be the place!
