About this home

Forty-eight and a half acres of Woodbury homestead has been waiting for you. Hill pasture rolls into mixed softwood forest as you climb the old farm road into the mature maple stand, where the ghost of an old sugarhouse still lingers among the trees. Apple trees, blueberries, organic gardens, trails that invite you to lose track of time. Views of the local hills remind you exactly where you are. This land has been lived on, loved, tended well and it shows. The home sits quietly tucked away from the road, conscientiously sited to let the sun do some of the work. Passive solar design fills the interior with natural light and warmth. The kind that feels authentic rather than forced. Built with intention, the craftsmanship inside rewards a slow look. Sawn tamarack boards, hand hewn timbers, Rutland slate, salvaged Vermont hardwood floors, and custom woodwork sourced from the land itself. Architectural salvage chosen with a discerning eye complements the hand-crafted natural interior elements. Three bedrooms, two full baths, a dedicated office and plenty of common area make the interior spacious and comfortable. There is a stillness about the place that the road noise can't reach. Inside and outside space negotiate here, equally, by design. Two porches, an elevated deck, and a gazebo invite you to linger in the spaces between nature and home. Here the practical and the purposeful coexist in easy harmony. A new high-efficiency LP wall-hung boiler with individual room zones, 4.4kw of roof-mounted solar panels net metering against your electric bill, two EV charging plugs and wiring for a generator. An attached workshop and garage for the projects that never quite finish, plus sheds for wood, and equipment. A second building site was designed for the property about a decade ago adding versatility with an eye toward the future. Woodbury's many lakes and ponds are just a stone’s skip away and ‘city’ amenities in Hardwick, Montpelier, and Morrisville are all within easy reach.
