Serene Retreat: Vermont Farmhouse with Spectacular Views

MRT-11088876 Discover the charm of Button Up Farm, a captivating 95-acre retreat offering expansive views of the First Branch of the White River valley, rolling hills, and distant valleys stretching towards Canada. Immerse yourself in the serene tranquility and complete seclusion of this enchanting haven. The farmhouse, an old farmhouse in rural Vermont, features four bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, including a unique first-floor primary bedroom suite. The chef's kitchen, wide-pine flooring, and captivating views from every window enhance the farmhouse's character.

Picture moments of family joy, whether it's cross-country skiing and sledding in the winter or outdoor games and hiking in the summer. Relax on the covered porch, taking in the awe-inspiring scenery that surrounds you. The property spans acres of pristine land, adorned with split rail fences. An original horse barn, 32 acres of electric-fenced plush pastures with majestic maple trees, and a mature apple orchard contribute to the picturesque landscape. Mixed-woods forest and a seasonal stream add to the natural beauty.

Direct access to the VAST snowmobile trail system eliminates the need for trailering. Please note that the pond is not accessible for swimming or guest use. Keep in mind that our property is situated on a rustic, rural road, posing challenges for vehicles without sufficient clearance. A high-clearance SUV is necessary to access the property, and snow tires are required from November through June. Your comfort and ease of travel are our top priorities, ensuring a delightful stay in every season.

As an old farmhouse in rural Vermont,  located in a picturesque country setting in Vermont. Despite our best efforts to mitigate bugs and mice, being in a natural environment means encounters with these critters are possible. While we take measures to address this, we cannot guarantee that you won't have an occasional visitor during your stay.

Our property is an older home that comes with its own unique character and charm. The home may have some dated features and minor quirks, which we believe add to its distinctiveness. We appreciate your understanding that, while we strive to maintain the property to the best of our ability, it may not have the modern conveniences of a newly built home.

Simply Beautiful!
The property was clean, well maintained, and most importantly - comfortable. This has been our favorite place we have stayed in Vermont so far. Views were breathtaking! We saw tons of wildlife. Not too far out (we visited for Norwich University's Parents Weekend). Just an incredibly relaxing stay.

Picturesque Vermont
Stunning location and peaceful . The home was clean, comfortable and perfect for a large family. Loved the large kitchen table where we spend time catching up. The beds were very comfortable and each family had their private spaces. A great retreat from our busy lives. Enjoyed fresh fresh eggs and VT products from a nearby farm as well as apples from the trees for a beautiful country breakfast We were there for a wedding and wish we had a longer stay!

Valley View Spectacular
My parents spent the nights there because my daughter graduated from college and it was close to my home in Chelsea. They LOVED it. Everyone was in awe of the views and peaceful atmosphere. Beautiful place indeed.
