Strawberry Hill Farm is the classic Vermont country property, ideally located in the center of Stowe. This is one of the last large parcels still in existence – 190 acres, a unique combination of interesting rolling meadows, a pristine waterfall, level agricultural land, wooded hillsides, and a network of trails endlessly connecting with surrounding conserved land, just right for hiking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, snow-shoeing, mountain biking and jogging.

A charming farmhouse centrally sited was originally built in the early 1800’s and extensively remodeled in 2008. As you enter, you will find yourself in a beautifully designed open floor-plan, cathedral ceiling living room and kitchen with a huge country fireplace. A few steps further is the music room, with its mahogany paneling and bookcases surrounding an additional fireplace. Yet another fireplace warms the formal dining room for cozy winter entertaining, or step outside onto the terrace for alfresco dining on those perfect summer evenings.

Formal gardens surround the terrace and connect the private swimming pool and cabana, providing respite from the sun if needed, or easy access to a cool drink after spirited play on the pool-side badminton court. If indoor work-out is preferred, the exercise room is in the main house on the lower-level.

There are 4 bedrooms in the 6,400 square foot main house: a handsome master suite with private balcony and views of the Green Mountain Range. 3 additional bedrooms for the family and guests are in close proximity A must-see media room with original beams, wet-bar, and game area, is a favorite play area for adults and children alike… from which you can climb the circular staircase to the yoga and meditation suite.

For the sports enthusiasts, the drying room and mud-room areas connected to the double garage are essential for the array of gear needed to play in Vermont’s four seasons. A horse barn and a sports equipment barn are all constructed in the early Vermont vernacular, creating a marvelous farm scene of outbuildings and pastures with white, board fencing.

The large swimming pond is the fun center of family activity, with a newly installed “zip line”, fire-pit and BBQ, picnic tables and gazebo and even an RV camper for extra convenience.

Just a few steps away, tucked privately in the woods is a ‘Hansel & Gretel’ guest cottage with living room and wood-burning fireplace, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and bathroom.

This end of the road setting is just where you want to be, with direct Mountain Road access, complete privacy and superb views of Mt. Mansfield and the surrounding mountain ranges. Unique, fun and idyllic as a family compound - Vermont style.
