Situated on a sunny knoll with ridgeline views, this charming Post and Beam Cape enjoys a peaceful, private setting surrounded by woodlands, gardens, and fruit trees. Set on 10.30+/- acres, the property offers a wonderful opportunity for those seeking space, privacy, and a more self-sufficient Vermont lifestyle.   Built in 1989 and lovingly maintained by the same owners for nearly 35 years, the home features beautiful hardwood flooring, a woodstove, stainless steel appliances, a newer standing seam roof, and two-year-old windows with a transferable warranty. Additional highlights include an ENERGY STAR-rated Energy Kinetics System 2000 Frontier oil-fired hot water boiler and a Kohler standby generator for peace of mind during power outages.  The land is every bit as special as the home, with perennial and vegetable gardens, a pond, garden shed, chicken coop, woodshed, and a fully operational sugar house. Snowshoe your own trails in winter, hike them in summer, tap your maples, tend the gardens, or simply enjoy the quiet rhythm of country living.   Warm, inviting, and ready for its next chapter, the home offers a wonderful opportunity for new owners to personalize and make it their own, all within proximity of everyday amenities and Norwich University. Being sold as is.
