The Drake House is a rare Vermont landmark, nearly two centuries in the making and thoughtfully carried forward by generations of careful stewards. Built in 1825 by Asaph Drake and his wife, this distinguished brick Federal home has long held an important place in the Middlebury area, with later connections to the Morgan Horse Farm, ownership by a Middlebury College president, and listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Most recently purchased in 2023, the 5,030-square-foot home has been meticulously modernized for contemporary living while preserving the character, craftsmanship, and soul that make it irreplaceable. Light-drenched interiors feature original pumpkin pine floors, historic brickwork, marble accents, reclaimed oak flooring, a restored archway, and elevated updates throughout, including a custom kitchen with coffered ceilings, walnut island, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and black enamel AGA propane range. Surrounded by approximately 650 acres of conserved land just five minutes from Middlebury village, the property feels deeply private while remaining closely connected to the landscape, with gardens, a pond, outdoor living spaces, and access to the MALT system's 18-mile trail network. Inside, gracious gathering spaces, a parlor with fireplace and beehive/pizza oven, a serene primary wing with office and cedar sauna, and a wine cellar create a home that is both historic and deeply livable. A post-and-beam barn/garage with guest apartment, additional barn, and second driveway complete this beautifully renewed Federal-era retreat, ready for its next chapter.

Set gracefully along a quiet ridgeline in the picturesque village of Weybridge, Vermont-just minutes from Middlebury College and the vibrant charm of downtown Middlebury-this exceptional custom residence offers a rare balance of seclusion, intention, and refined simplicity. Designed and built by its current owners with extraordinary care, this one-bedroom home with a separate studio is a true sanctuary for those seeking privacy, creativity, and connection to the natural landscape. Every detail reflects a thoughtful commitment to quality and timeless design. Black-framed Marvin Integrity windows create a striking contrast against the crisp white interior and exterior, while wide-plank French oak floors bring warmth and continuity throughout the living spaces. Tumbled quartzite tile underfoot in the kitchen and bath adds subtle texture and enduring elegance. Drawing inspiration from classic English design, the home is enriched with carefully curated elements sourced abroad-from elegant fixtures and bespoke hardware to understated, timeless lighting-creating a quiet sense of character and authenticity. Radiant heat ensures comfort in every season, while a wood stove offers a welcoming focal point on snowy Vermont evenings and crisp autumn days. Guided by a “less is more” philosophy, the layout is both efficient and inspiring. The lofted bedroom provides a peaceful retreat, while the open-concept living and dining areas are designed for connection and ease. A custom 10-foot dining table anchors the space-perfect for intimate gatherings, study sessions, or creative pursuits. Just across the drive, a detached studio offers exceptional flexibility-ideal as a private office, artist's studio, wellness space, or guest accommodations. The property is comprised of three parcels, two of which offer the potential to be sold separately. Creating a unique opportunity for future investment. Set in complete privacy, for those seeking a tranquil Vermont lifestyle.
