About this home
OPEN HOUSE SATURDAY OCT 3 FROM 11-2. AUCTION: Bidder registration deadline: 21 October. Starting bids expected between $1.25M–$2.25M. Set on twelve pastoral acres in the storybook town of Barnard, Vermont, Highland Glen captures New England charm at its finest. A red barn, mature apple orchard, and towering sugar maples greet arrival, while stone walls and wooded paths wind past willow trees, a stream, trout-stocked ponds, a waterfall, and fountains. A swim spa and expansive decks invite alfresco entertaining beneath open sky. Inside, a chef's kitchen anchors the home, complemented by a four-season lodge room with a river rock fireplace, an upstairs tavern with a full bar, a wine cellar, sauna, and billiards area. Recently renovated and meticulously maintained, Highland Glen stands as a rare Vermont sanctuary, equal parts tranquil retreat and lively gathering place, moments from Silver Lake and the Barnard General Store.
