Property Description
Discover an extraordinary opportunity to own 284.9 acres of Vermont countryside in the scenic town of Fairfield. This remarkable property offers a beautiful mix of open agricultural fields, mature woodland, and abundant wildlife, providing exceptional privacy and endless possibilities for recreation, farming, or a peaceful rural retreat. At the center of the property sits a historic farmhouse built in 1800, offering approximately 1,984 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The home is rich with character and presents a wonderful opportunity to personalize a classic Vermont farmhouse while enjoying the surrounding landscape. The expansive acreage provides excellent potential for agriculture, forestry, hunting, trail systems, and outdoor recreation. Protected through a Vermont Land Trust conservation easement, the land has been preserved to maintain its agricultural productivity, natural resources, and scenic beauty for generations while still allowing continued farming, forestry, recreation, and residential use in accordance with the easement. Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is within driving distance of Jay Peak Resort and Smugglersâ Notch, offering easy access to some of Vermontâs best skiing, hiking, and four-season outdoor recreation. Large conserved tracts of land of this size are increasingly rare. Whether you're seeking a working agricultural property, recreational escape, or long-term land investment, this unique Fairfield property offers incredible potential and Vermont country charm.
