Offered on the market for the first time in over 100 years, this extraordinary multi-property estate is a rare and remarkable opportunity! Set on 6.24 scenic acres with the Castleton River forming the back property line, this one-of-a-kind property offers endless possibilities for multi-generational living, investment income, or business potential. The centerpiece of the property is the stunning main home featuring an attached two-car garage and a fully equipped in-law apartment. From the moment you arrive, the pride of ownership and care poured into this property over generations is undeniable. Relax on the gorgeous wraparound covered front porch while taking in breathtaking views of Birdseye Mountain and the rolling meadows beyond. Step inside to a bright and cheerful kitchen that instantly feels like home, along with spacious bonus rooms offering flexibility for offices, hobbies, or additional living space. Cozy up by the propane fireplace on chilly Vermont evenings and enjoy the comfort and warmth throughout. The in-law apartment, complete with its own private staircase, offers wonderful space for guests or extended family, while also having the option to seamlessly incorporate it back into the main home if desired. In addition to the main residence, the property includes two separate 2-bedroom, 1-bath homes, both currently rented, providing excellent income potential. Also included is a massive fully equipped commercial garage capable of housing up to seven vehicles. Formerly home to a successful business thanks to its prime location, the garage offers incredible opportunity for entrepreneurs, collectors, mechanics, or anyone in need of substantial workspace. Practical improvements add even more value, with all three homes featuring standing seam roofs, vinyl siding for easy maintenance, and radon mitigation systems already installed. Rarely does a property with this much history, versatility, income potential, and natural beauty become available.
