1110 Creek Rd., Albany, Vermont (Irasburg mailing address) C. 1863 Hand-Hewn Timber Frame Cape on 1.89 Acres – Food Forest, Deep Energy Retrofit, Minutes to Craftsbury - Just 12 minutes from Craftsbury Outdoor Center and Craftsbury Common, this 1863 timber frame Cape blends historic Vermont character with a thoughtful energy retrofit and homestead-ready landscape. Exposed hand-hewn beams anchor the first floor, and nearly all interior wood was locally milled. Kitchen flooring reclaimed from the historic Craftsbury Inn ties the home to regional craft tradition. The three bedroom, 1-bath layout includes two living areas and an open kitchen/dining space with concrete counters, tile backsplash, live-edge bar, pantry, and updated appliances. Upstairs offers built-ins and a spacious second living area. A large walk-out basement provides storage, workshop, and utility space. Heating demand is ~3 cords/year through extensive energy renovations. Two woodstoves provide primary heat, with a high-efficiency propane backup (2025). Improvements include new concrete foundation with framed walk-out (2009), all new windows, doors, plumbing, on-demand hot water and electrical (2016), new drilled well with softening and filtration (2017), and updated siding with air/weather barrier, and dual driveways (2025).
Set on 1.89 acres, the land has been cultivated for beauty, food production, and self-sufficiency. 2,400 SF of established no-till perennial gardens surround a thriving food forest and orchard with grapes, raspberries, blackberries, elderberries, blueberries, plums, pears, apples, Jerusalem artichokes, rhubarb, and medicinal plantings. A seasonal brook crosses the property, and a hand-built granite staircase leads to garden terraces and western pastoral views toward the Lords Creek valley.
Bordered by 68 and 101 acre parcels, the setting offers privacy without large-acreage taxes. Town-maintained road, reliable winter access, and high-speed internet. Showings start 4/3/26
