Tunbridge has long been recognized as one of the best preserved agriculturally based hill towns in the state of Vermont. The abundance of self sustaining hill farms is showcased every year with the Tunbridge Worlds Fair. The basis of these farms is the ability to produce many diverse products from the rich soils and abundant woodlands including maple sugar, saw logs, a wide range of farm animals and various crops. This property has been out of production for many years and yet the open land has been kept open and the woodlands well maintained. The exceptional ca 1860 36' x 48' side hill barn is well suited for any agricultural pursuit and includes a 48' x 12' insulated workshop on the lower level with a concrete slab floor and an overhead door.
The farmhouse has been well maintained and has up to date systems. The large mudroom gives entry to the spacious kitchen with exposed beams, has a period Home Comfort wood cookstove, a very nice period Hoosier while supporting granite countertops and up to date appliances. The kitchen leads to the sunroom with its vellum skylights and tile flooring. The large living room has a wood burning fireplace with a Resolute wood stove insert. The second floor has a generous landing which has been used as office space while providing access to the two bedrooms. Both full bathrooms, one of the first floor and the second on the second floor are well appointed with some period details.
All in all, this is the traditional Vermont hill farm with 161 acres that many search for in one of the more desirable towns.
