About this home

A private retreat, recreational escape, and 62 acres of Vermont possibility await at 399 Dunbar Road in Sheffield. The property has been thoughtfully developed as an off-grid getaway with a strong connection to the land. The existing cabin is powered by solar with generator backup and provides a comfortable base for enjoying the property. Although it is not currently permitted as a year-round residence, the seller did live there for 6 years as a primary residence. The land is truly special, with a beautiful mix of open pasture and woods, a private pond, extensive trails, and stunning long-range views stretching from Burke Mountain to Mount Washington. A substantial portion is fenced for pasture animals, while wetlands toward the back of the property add habitat, botanical diversity, and wildlife value. Around the cabin, the seller has cultivated a unique botanical landscape that complements the natural setting and offers plenty to appreciate for gardeners, homesteaders, foragers, and nature lovers. By night, the private setting and minimal surrounding light create gorgeous star-filled skies. Dual road frontage adds versatility, including Hod Brooks Road which is a class III town road until just before this parcel. The power also stops just before this parcel on Hod Brooks. This may create potential to establish residence while retaining the existing cabin as a getaway or recreational base, subject to applicable permits. Direct VAST trail access adds even more recreational appeal. Whether your vision includes a Vermont getaway, homestead, horses or other animals, recreation, a botanical retreat, or building a full-time home surrounded by your own acreage, this is an uncommon property with the land and flexibility to make it your own. Photos include collection of photos from years past as well as current photos. Interior photos forthcoming.
