1843 Farmhouse for Sale - 28 Acres with Endless Potential Tucked along a maple-lined country road in the heart of Orwell, this rare property offers historic character, productive land, and exceptional agricultural infrastructure. The Federal-style farmhouse features exposed hand-hewn beams, multiple fireplaces, and large light-filled rooms. At 2,446 square feet with three bedrooms and two full baths, the layout includes a kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, storage room, and basement. New windows, propane heat, and leased solar adds modern efficiency. For work or hobbies, there is a monitor-style barn with two attached lean-tos, providing a flexible space for equipment, workshop, garage, and storage. A separate five-stall horse barn with tack room, wood stove heat, and equipment lean-to is primed for equestrian or livestock use or gain income by renting it out. Both structures are in good condition. The 28-acre parcel features a large, flat, south-facing field ideal for pasture or crops, mature woodlot, beaver pond, and rich wetland habitat teeming with wildlife. This is a great opportunity to restore and personalize this historic gem. Buyers with an eye for character and a plan for renovation will find exceptional value just 5 minutes from charming Orwell Village, 20 minutes to Brandon, and 30 minutes to Middlebury.
