On a hill. In a meadow. By a barn. Under big-sky stars. Hundred Acre Homestead. Bottom of valley to top of mountain views. All day sun. Artfully-restored 3-bedroom 1800s farmhouse expanded into barn structures with recent new stone-veneered foundation and mechanicals. 2006 8-bedroom post & beam house with expansive professionally-outfitted kitchen and great room and recent new mechanicals. Walk-in pantry. Brand-new never-used Wolf 60” range. Large wood-fired cook stove. Restored 1800s barn on a new foundation. Astounding space, latitude of uses, and charm throughout. Horse stalls and large fenced pastures. Sugar house and sugarbush. Village and church steeple to rock-outcropping above-tree-line depth of view. Large grove of ancient apples. Invite everyone. Make the pies and prepare the feast together. Huddle around the cookstove while the oatmeal, eggs, and coffee finish. Pop loaves of bread in to bake during breakfast. Nap in the hammock while everyone else scatters for mountain biking, hiking, gardening, lunch in Montpelier, and whatever. Gather again in the evening for cocktails and BBQ at the cape. Friends and family cannot believe what they are experiencing. Yoga and meditation offset the skirmish for the 2nd floor sleeping porch. Lazy evenings in front of the fire. Maple syrup-making. Raspberry-picking and more pies. Top of meadow bonfires. X-C skiing right out the door. Fly-fishing on the Winooski just below. Magic. A dream. Perhaps . . . an impending reality?
