About This Home
Sited at the end of a town maintained road, Highlands Farm in North Danville, Vermont is one of the best preserved Vermont hill farms of the era. The 240 acre land component consists of 55 acres of prime hay fields and pastures, 185 acres of extremely well maintained woodlands that include an active sugarbush. The ongoing 40 year stewardship by the current owners of this property has preserved an extremely fine working landscape coupled with a period correct Greek Revival farmhouse. The farmhouse replete with hanging oil lamps, period flooring, period windows and extensive original woodwork underwent an extensive restoration in 1985 under the ownership of the current owners. The focus was the retention of all original fabric while outfitting the house for the first time with modern electrics and systems. As part of the ongoing restoration, a period barn was moved from Sharon, VT, an addition as well as a swimming pool were added. The farmhouse with its six bedrooms is light filled and features extraordinary local and long range views to Mt Washington and the White Mountains. Truly one of the finest intact Vermont farmsteads located in the Northeast Kingdom in close proximity to all forms of recreation, culture and vibrant communities.
