Welcome to McLaren Farm, a well cared for vintage farmhouse surrounded by lilacs, maples and rolling fields. Finding a property that balances history, acreage, and modern practicality is a tall order, but this five-bedroom Vermont farmhouse manages to hit every note. Sited well off the road for ultimate privacy, this isn't just a home; it’s a sprawling 187-acre legacy of 70 acres of open organic fields and a thriving sugarbush (over 1400 taps). The farmhouse has been meticulously maintained and currently functions as a two-unit home. The layout is incredibly flexible—if you’ve been dreaming of a grand, single-family estate, the reconfiguration would be effortless. Inside, the home features bright, open interior spaces and classic (some original) and recently refinished wood flooring that glows in the natural light. The land itself is where the story gets even better. The Vermont Land Trust has a conservation easement, and all but the house site and and an additional 3 acres is in Current Use, which translates to a significant tax break for you and the peace of mind that these pastoral views are protected forever. You won't even need to worry about the heavy lifting of land management; a local farmer hays the organic fields every spring, summer, and fall, keeping the landscape pristine while you enjoy the peace, only to be disturbed by birdsong and breeze. And for the ultimate "only in Vermont" perk? Thanks to a rare historic arrangement, the town actually plows the driveway. Let that sink in: 187 acres of privacy, a massive organic farmstead, and you don’t have to lift a finger when the snow flies.Whether you’re looking for a multi-generational setup, an investment opportunity, or a grand country home to call your own, this property offers a lifestyle that is as easy as it is beautiful. All the charm of a historic farmhouse, and no rural headaches. Come see why McLaren Farm is truly one of a kind. View the 3D tour accompanying the listing. Call now for a viewing.
