Description
A true piece of Vermont history, this rustic 1880 timber frame barn embodies the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era. Encompassing approximately 5,500 square feet, the structure is exceptionally solid, showcasing the strength and character of its original hand-hewn beams and post and beam joinery offering soaring interior spaces and authentic architectural details. Set on 10.05 picturesque country acres, the property is surrounded by rolling pastures and neighboring farmland, and offers endless possibilities including agricultural operations, equestrian pursuits, working farm, contractor's workshop, event venue, artisan workshop, professional offices, or a stunning conversion into a one-of-a-kind residence. All uses subject to local town and state approvals and permits. With 5 acre zoning in Pawlet this property is subdivided into two lots: barn on 5.03 acres and a second lot with 5.02 acres. The second parcel offers an ideal location with distant views for a new residence while allowing the historic barn to continue as a workshop, studio, home based business or other creative enterprise. The barn has been partially converted to a residence and is ready for renovation to create your perfect living space; or build elsewhere on the second lot with appropriate permits. Property past history includes use as a stagecoach stop, a restaurant lounge and currently a Vermont food production company. A peaceful four season property minutes to Pawlet Village, nearby Dorset & Manchester shopping and amenities, plus hiking, skiing, rail trail, equestrian pursuits, lake and river recreation, farmers markets, music, art & theater!
