Privately set against hundreds of acres of conserved land, the property offers a rare sense of peace, open skies, and the enduring beauty of the Upper Valley landscape. Offered for the first time in generations, the Henderson family has lovingly cared for this remarkable home since 1959, creating a legacy of warmth, stewardship, and authentic New England tradition. Here, life unfolded at a gentler pace â?? raising family, tending horses and cattle, gathering by the fireplace, and preparing meals from scratch while surrounded by rolling hills and woodland views. Inside, the eight-room home is rich with character and historic charm, featuring wood plank floors, inviting living spaces, and three comfortable bedrooms filled with natural light and countryside views. The homeâ??s classic brick construction and thoughtful details speak to a bygone era of craftsmanship rarely found today. Outdoors, the grounds invite every season of Vermont living. A clay tennis court and in-ground pool create a unique country retreat, while the woodshed, pool shed, and workshop above the attached two-car garage provide exceptional utility and space for hobbies or creative pursuits.
