Historic Farmhouse 300+acres. 1 Gbps internet

Quarantine on 300+ secluded acres with 1 Gbps internet Looking for a place to shelter from the pandemic? You’ve found it! The renovated farmhouse is nestled within the peaks and valley of rural Vermont and has plenty of indoor space to set up a private virtual office while others can settle in at the game room or wander the acreage. The kitchen, with two of all appliances and adjacent dining area, makes solo or group meal preparation a joy. The house has plenty of space: 9 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half baths, and on the lower level a game room for Ping-Pong and billiards or Scrabble and a library for quiet reading. A bath on the main level is ADA-compliant. Outdoor delights include a fire pit (marshmallows required), charcoal grill, picnic tables for dining al fresco, and meadows in all directions inviting you to plan a picnic. If you crave an outdoor game, the house is equipped for croquet, bocce, badminton, volleyball, and basketball. The property has marked hiking trails and if you’re up for a 5-mile walk, you can amble around Mt. Hoag; turn left out the front door and head up the road, bear left at the first fork, follow the main road, and after about two hours you will be back home. Entire home. We respect your privacy.
