About This Home

They say land remembers. On Rush Meadow Road—where rolling fields meet the quiet rhythm of the seasons—there is a place that has been held, cared for, and passed down for over a century. This 103-acre estate is not something that was assembled. It was lived. Worked. Protected. For generations, it operated as a dairy farm, and the land still reflects that stewardship—lush hayfields, a ready-to-tap sugarbush, rich soil for gardening and beautiful solar exposure across every acre. It’s the kind of property that continues to give, year after year. At its heart sits a classic Vermont farmhouse with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, grounded by its traditional woodshed ell and surrounded by substantial garage and equipment space. It’s practical, authentic, and full of quiet character—equally suited as a full-time residence or a welcoming guest house. To the west, the land opens into sweeping fields with one of the most compelling building sites in the region—long-range views stretching to Mt. Ascutney, expansive and uninterrupted. Whether you envision a private compound, a retreat, or preserving the land as it has been for generations, the setting invites something meaningful. Consider your dream home resting at the height of the land, the beginning to your own heritage. Moments from Brownsville, with easy access to trails across Ascutney Mountain, coffee at local favorites like the Butcher & Pantry, and the culture of Woodstock just 25 minutes down the road, this property offers both connection and complete escape. This is not simply a farm. It is a legacy—waiting for its next chapter
