40 dodge road

A rare opportunity to call a former dairy barn home. Craftsman-owned since 1999, there is more than 3,750 sq ft of living space that combines soaring spaces, tall ceilings, and cozy rooms, a 1,950 sq ft radiant heated garage/workshop, and an additional 3,000 sq ft of space for expansion, all within the same structure. The owners have completely renovated the building with upgraded electrical and heating systems, replaced the septic system, added a sauna, fiber Internet, a mini split for AC, and installed a 13kw solar array which produces more power than needed. The energy efficient, spray foam insulated living space is outfitted with plaster walls and a new cherry and ash kitchen (harvested from the property) with soapstone counters. Multiple windows have been replaced, interior is repainted, the 480 sq ft deck has been stained, and the hardwood floors have been refinished. Also included is a main floor in-law or guest apartment with direct access. The barn sits in the middle of 70 acres of beautiful fields and woodlands for total privacy and stunning local views. Surrounded by 200’ of stone walls, perennial gardens, streams, an heirloom orchard and a mature Christmas tree stand. The owners have created wildlife habitats which attract abundant wildlife year-round. Located outside the village of Chelsea on a well-maintained town road, with easy access to the VAST trail system, Dodge Road is central to Stowe (one hour), Woodstock (one hour), and Hanover/Lebanon (45 minutes).
