Sited on 465 +/- private acres in South Woodstock, Birch Tree Farm was created as a retreat to bring family and friends together and to enjoy the great outdoors. The farm offers a variety of experiences, including pressing apples for cider, collecting eggs for breakfast, hiking to the cabin, fishing or skating on the pond, enjoying miles of trails for walking, riding, or snowshoeing, and tapping trees for maple syrup.

The relaxed vibe of the Lodge-style home, made of wood and stone, evokes a sense of mountain living, with design elements like exposed beams, a cathedral ceiling in the great room, a large stone wood burning fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame expansive views of the mountains and the Ottauquechee Valley. Step out onto the wrap-around deck to take in an infinity pool, hot tub, stocked pond, and apple orchard. Beautiful wild lupine grow in the meadow in the spring. Landscape design by Shep Butler includes 10’ hydrangea bushes, perennials gardens, stone walls and a walled vegetable garden.

The three-level bank barn, designed by award winning Boston architect John MacDonald and built by Housewright Construction, offers one of the finest barns in area with seven box stalls, a farm manager’s office/tack room, and a versatile upper level for entertaining, recreation, and movie night as well as accommodating an overflow of guests.

Nine fenced pastures, two run-in sheds, a two-level storage barn, and a chicken coop enhance the farm, while miles of carriage trails connect to GMHA’s network. At 2,409 feet, Old Baldy Mountain is a short hike away offering 360 degree views and a primitive cabin near the summit.

3.1 miles from GMHA, 3.8 miles from South Woodstock Country Store and Post Office, 28 minutes from Killington, 2.5 hours from Boston. Fiber optic internet. 157 acres conserved with Vermont Land Trust.

Showings begin August 30.
