About This Home
Set in a quiet valley, Worcester Hill spans 83± acres of gently rolling meadows, woodlands, stonewalls, and perennial gardens--a timeless landscape shaped by history and thoughtful stewardship. At its heart is a beautifully maintained 1804 farmhouse with three fireplaces, wide-planked pumpkin pine floors, and a wraparound porch that opens to a brick terrace and a large screened veranda--ideal for gathering or reflection. The first floor includes a mudroom with heated floors, a chef’s kitchen, keeping room, formal living room, guest suite, and an office. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with views to the Adirondacks. Also included is a two-bedroom stone guest house, once the Worcester Hill Schoolhouse, built in 1833 of local limestone. One of Vermont’s oldest surviving one-room schools, it offers charm and flexibility for guests, work, or creative pursuits. The red English barn--featured in many of Woody Jackson’s paintings--includes seven horse stalls and a hayloft. A wildlife pond, trails, maple stand, and 20 solar panels complete this turnkey Champlain Valley retreat, just 10 miles from Middlebury College and 44 miles from Burlington Airport.
