1245 Houghtonville Road, Grafton, VT 05146

Just outside Grafton Village, Houghtonville Farm comprises 12 +/- acres along the Saxtons River, with a 1,611-square-foot, three-bedroom residence and a useful collection of barns and outbuildings. Built in 1985, the house offers a first-floor primary bedroom and full bath. The kitchen with dining area opens to the living room with a wood stove. The living room leads out to a large covered porch facing east, and a stone terrace on the south. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a three-quarter bath. The outbuildings, arranged around a farm courtyard, include a two-bay garage next to the house and, forming an ell, a substantial barn, large heated workshop, and adjoining barn now empty and ready for its next use. The barn is equipped with Nelson automatic waterers, frost-free hydrants, and direct outdoor access. A separate sugarhouse, once used for boiling maple sap, later became a farm shop and today serves as a gathering place for suppers with friends and family. Houghtonville Road has a long history of riverside farming along the Saxtons River. Nearby, the Houghtonville Historic District, listed on the National Register in 2015, includes well-preserved 19th-century houses and historic farm properties. With open meadows and flexible agricultural buildings, the property could accommodate horses, sheep, goats, gardens, or small-scale farming, or simply serve as a country retreat with space for hobbies and creative pursuits. Just over a mile from the charming village of Grafton and approximately 30 minutes from Okemo Mountain Resort. Showings starting October 2nd.
