This one-of-a-kind Vermont property offers two dwellings and a studio on 5.68 acres - each blending elevated aesthetics, thoughtful design, and a true connection to nature.  The 2011 main house features an open layout and handcrafted finishes throughout. The kitchen boasts soapstone countertops and custom cherry cabinetry. A very special wood-fired masonry heater anchors the living space and a spacious covered porch overlooks the surrounding gardens. The main house offers two sun-filled bedrooms and a dedicated office space. Capacious storage, wine and root cellars, and a walkout entry are in the unfinished basement. A beautifully renovated one bedroom cottage with deck and outdoor tub provides a second home, guest space, or continued short-term rental opportunity. Across the landscaped grounds, the yurt studio delivers a unique and peaceful space complete with a soaking tub. Outside, the property is graced with mature perennial gardens, established vegetable and medicinal plant gardens, and a three-stall horse barn, offering endless opportunities for homesteading, small-scale farming, or gracious country living.  With a proven track record as a very successful short-term rental, the entire property is impeccably maintained.  A primary home with income potential, a multi-unit investment, or a peaceful retreat to share with others, 135 Fred Houghton Road captures the essence of Vermont living-handcrafted beauty, self-sufficiency, and modern comfort surrounded by nature. The seller will be amending the current Wastewater permit prior to closing. STR income available upon request.
