Dodge Hill Farm - Tucked away on 12 acres of unspoiled countryside in historic Francestown, this one will delight the senses inside and out. Perfect for active households, entertaining, and country life, this 4BR/2.5BA home's living spaces are large and flowing, made cozy by a woodstove and a fireplace. The interior brings together the best of both worlds, colonial features rooted in tradition and modern, yet timeless, kitchen and baths. The recently expanded chef's kitchen offers exceptional workspace and a well-proportioned island with plenty of seating, creating the perfect hub for conversation and cooking. The 1st floor powder room is nearly new, and full baths are custom-designed. Other rooms of note include the holiday-sized dining room, perfect for celebrations, gatherings, and relaxing with friends after trail riding, skiing, or golfing at Francestown and Bennington's Crotched Mountain. Then there's an inviting tiled foyer, a home office, and the nicest boot/mud/dog room we've ever seen! Well-placed windows and patio doors draw the beauty of the outdoors inside year-round, while multiple heat sources and four mini-splits ensure comfort in every season. Outside is perfectly private, yet not isolated. The paved driveway leads to the garage with an attached barn. 2 Bays are insulated/heated with built-in cabinets ready for the craftsman to set up shop. Two other bays, one with a 9' overhead door, could be part of the livestock/horse area, or could house a large vehicle. For horse owners, it's perfect for a trailer, carriage, or carts. Open now, the rear section of the building had 3 large in/out box stalls for years that could easily be put back. There are hydrants inside and out, a full hayloft, and an insulated tack room. This has everything for the animal and nature lover - a pond with a zipline, walking trails on site and off, and miles of gravel roads just a short hack from the driveway. High-speed Comcast internet. Shown by appt please.
