An extraordinary opportunity awaits to acquire a destination property with exceptional potential as an inn, wedding and event venue, retreat center, nonprofit campus, educational facility, or outdoor recreation enterprise. Encompassing more than 300 acres in the historic village of Grafton, Riverledge Farm is a rare Vermont estate offering a unique combination of infrastructure, natural resources, and year-round recreational amenities. A picturesque approach lined with mature maple trees and stone walls leads to a classic Vermont farmhouse, complemented by a collection of substantial supporting buildings, including a 4,000+ square foot timber frame event barn, five-bay garage with workshop and offices, seven-bay pole barn, and three-stall horse barn with heated tack room. Existing accommodations include the main residence, a separate guest or caretaker house, and two rustic guest cottages. The property features expansive timberland and open meadows, two large pastures, a half-acre aerated pond, more than two miles of streams, and 6.7 miles of roads and trails. Bordering Mollie Beattie State Forest and the South Branch of the Saxtons River, with three direct access points to the VAST trail network, the property offers outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation, ecotourism, conservation, maple sugaring, agricultural ventures, and experiential events. Rarely does a property of this scale, setting, and versatility become available in Southern Vermont.
