Set on more than 18 picturesque acres along desirable River Road in Manchester Village, this extraordinary, converted farm offers a rare blend of historic character, modern comfort, & endless possibilities. Thoughtfully transformed into a multi-use residential compound, the property features four distinct living, working, & entertaining spaces, each with its own personality and purpose. Throughout the property, authentic antique details have been carefully preserved & integrated into the design. Original barn doors, handcrafted woodwork, exposed beams, & custom trim accents create a warm & inviting atmosphere while seamlessly blending with modern updates & amenities. The former horse barn stalls have been creatively reimagined into a charming office, library, & 3/4 bath, providing an inspiring space for work, study, or quiet retreat. A covered walkway leads to an impressive barn, ideal for large gatherings, celebrations, creative pursuits, or even a prized car collection.. A third living area serves as an exceptional landing place for family, guests, or multigenerational living. Barn-inspired architectural elements continue throughout, complemented by multiple bedrooms, and bathrooms, Completing the compound is a separate one-bedroom cottage, offering privacy & flexibility for guests, caretakers, or your personal slice of serenity. Outside, the grounds are equally captivating. Mature plantings & meticulously maintained landscaping showcase several perennial gardens that bloom throughout the seasons. A heated in-ground pool provides the perfect place to relax. Across the street, additional acreage framed by classic Vermont stone walls and a large stream-fed pond adds another dimension to the estate, with space for future residences, guest accommodations, or a private family compound. A truly exceptional offering in the heart of Historic Manchester Village.
