2238 Upper Michigan Road

About this home

Tucked away at the end of Upper Michigan Road on 54.4 private acres bordering the Green Mountain National Forest, this remarkable 1825 Vermont farmhouse offers breathtaking long-range mountain views in an unforgettable setting. Rich in authentic character, the home showcases rustic knotty pine walls, exposed hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, and a fieldstone fireplace hearth. The home's low ceilings and gently uneven floors are not imperfections — they are reminders of a time when homes were built by hand and meant to last. A thoughtfully designed addition in 1996 blends seamlessly with the original home, providing modern comfort with a spacious primary bedroom featuring 10-foot ceilings and custom built-ins, a guest bedroom, and a beautifully updated full bath. The expansive living area offers inviting spaces to gather around the woodstove, enjoy movie nights, or relax with family and friends. The vintage-inspired kitchen and dining area, with vaulted ceilings, warm pine finishes, and a picnic-style dining table, is ideal for casual entertaining. Upstairs, two additional guest bedrooms and a powder room provide comfortable accommodations. Outside, more than 30 acres of managed woodland extend along both sides of the town road, complemented by open lawns, mature perennial gardens, and endless opportunities to enjoy the spectacular southern views. A detached two-car garage with overhead storage provides ample space for vehicles and outdoor gear. Snowmobiling, ATV riding, hiking, mountain biking, and snowshoeing are all accessible directly from the property. A state wastewater permit for an additional three-bedroom home offers exceptional flexibility for future expansion or a family compound. This is a rare opportunity to own a legacy Vermont property where history, privacy, recreation, and extraordinary natural beauty come together.
