Welcome to Hidden Ponds Farm - a breathtaking retreat set on 40 sprawling acres where history and refined country living meet in perfect harmony. This extraordinary early 1800s post-and-beam converted barn has been thoughtfully reimagined, preserving its authentic character while seamlessly integrating modern comforts. A magnificent 1,000-foot hand-placed stone wall winds gracefully across the landscape, framing two picturesque ponds and twin orchards that offer seasonal beauty and fresh harvests. The outdoor amenities elevate this property into a private resort: an inviting in-ground pool, hot tub, propane fire pit, and an impressive 90-foot deck with retractable awning, ideal for effortless entertaining and long summer evenings under the Vermont sky. For collectors, hobbyists, or outdoor enthusiasts, the property offers exceptional versatility. A detached four-bay garage with second-story loft provides abundant storage, while an additional outbuilding easily accommodates a large Class A motor home or boat. Separate pump houses serve both the pond and pool, ensuring functionality meets convenience. A dramatic post-and-beam great room addition, completed in 1997, creates a striking focal point within the home. Anchored by a soaring floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, this grand yet welcoming space captures the essence of rustic elegance. Above, a charming loft offers the perfect reading nook, studio, or private office retreat. The renovated kitchen blends contemporary appliances and thoughtful design with the warmth and character of the original barn structure. Three spacious bedrooms and three beautifully updated bathrooms, including one featuring a luxurious steam shower, provide comfort and privacy for family and guests. Hidden Ponds Farm is a rare and remarkable offering, a timeless estate where history, natural beauty, and modern living come together in one unforgettable property.
