Set along the storied banks of the White River, the historic WA Dunham Farm—also known as the Hungerford Farm—offers a rare blend of Vermont heritage, natural beauty, and modern comfort on 92.6 conserved acres. Originally built circa 1867, this extensively restored estate features nearly one mile of private river frontage with a secluded beach, perennial streams, protected woodlands, open meadows, and private walking trails—some well discovered, others waiting to be rediscovered. Along the riverbank, initials carved into the stone across the water stand as a timeless reminder of generations past. The five-bedroom, five-bath residence has been thoughtfully updated with high-efficiency systems, solar power with Tesla Powerwalls, restored wide pine flooring, renovated kitchens and baths, and a dramatic great room with vaulted ceilings and walls of glass overlooking the landscape. Outside, enjoy formal perennial gardens, orchards, a fenced vegetable garden with greenhouses, extensive stone patios and walls, an outdoor Finnish sauna, hot tub, gazebo, and a private retreat adjoining a regulation half basketball court. Protected by Vermont Land Trust, this extraordinary property offers unmatched privacy, recreation, and legacy ownership just minutes from Bethel Village.
