About This Home

Back on market due to buyer financing — no fault of the property. Now offered at a compelling new price, step into Vermont history at the enchanting Soule House and Carriage Barn, a landmark estate set on five rolling acres in Fairfield. The stately main residence, listed on the Vermont Historic Registry as “one of the finest Federal style houses in Vermont,” offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, where timeless architecture and warm natural light create a welcoming retreat. Every detail reflects classic New England charm, making this a home meant for gathering, relaxing, and creating lasting memories. The true centerpiece is the beautifully restored carriage barn, thoughtfully transformed into a turn-key wedding and event business opportunity. With soaring ceilings, rustic-elegant finishes, and sweeping countryside views, the barn has hosted countless celebrations and is ready to continue as a thriving destination for life’s most meaningful moments. Outside, rolling lawns and mature trees provide breathtaking backdrops for both private living and unforgettable gatherings. Just minutes from St. Albans and I-89, this exceptional property blends peaceful seclusion with everyday convenience—an ideal setting for a dream home and flourishing business opportunity. Enjoy easy access to four-season recreation and regional destinations, including approximately 35 minutes to Smugglers' Notch, one hour to Jay Peak Resort, 20 minutes to the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers trail system, walking distance to the Vermont Rail Trail, 35 minutes to Burlington, and 40 minutes to the Canadian border. The Soule House and Carriage Barn is a well known name in the Vermont wedding industry and has been on the receiving end of industry awards, recognition, and accolades. Wedding and event inquiries are already stacking up for the coming year. Growth potential is significant, including Bed & Breakfast, community events, private parties, gatherings, and more.
