Waiora Valley Farm is now For Sale
THE HOUSE:
This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home overlooks the Lamoille River Valley, the Rail Trail and the 10 acres of rolling fenced pasture.
It is an efficient one level home with lots of closets. There is a full unfinished basement that could easily be converted into a spare bedroom, family room, or just storage. We have loved having it as a play room and spare room for the kids and visitors.
The 2 car, fully insulated garage is attached to the house, making winter parking so comfortable and convenient. We enclosed part of the garage for use as a farm store for a year, so there is plenty of room for multi-use in that space as well.
On the back of the house there is a huge deck to enjoy the expansive views of the farm and river valley. There is a 4 person hot tub installed on the deck to relax in after a long day on the farm. The west facing living room and office make for spectacular sunsets, year round.
The kitchen has been upgraded with silo stone countertops and all new stainless steel applicances. It is a very functional and spacious entertaining and creating space. We find that we spend most of our time there.
The woodstove in the basement is a Hearthstone Mansfield. It was installed 4 years ago and heats our entire home comfortably. The hearthstone maintains even heat all day long without needing to stoke the fire multiple times a day. The woodshed is filled with wood that will also convey with the property. There is also a forced hot air propane furnace installed in the house. It works well, but we prefer the wood heat and have not used it for the last 2 seasons. It is a nice alternative if you are away for a longer period of time and can't fill the fire each day.
In the basement is the laundry area where a 2 year old large capacity front loader is installed and included in the sale.
This property is perfect for a home based business with the main road visibility, as well as available high speed internet through Fairpoint DSL, and perfect Verizon cell phone signal. The 4 season porch is currently used as our home office, and it is a lovely sunny space to work in.
THE FARM:
A truly unique opportunityto own a small homestead. The property consists of 10 acres of pasture. All the work is done. Gravity fed spring runs water to all parts of the farm. There are run in sheds in three of the paddocks and a large chicken coop with power. A yard system for sheep and cattle. The large barn was built for lambing and hay storage. It has high ceilings and lots of natural sunlight.
We have raised pork, sheep, beef, turkeys, and chickens on the farm. There is a strong local demand for our products and many opportunities for growth. Details of stock numbers can be provided upon request. The extensive fencing would allow for just about any animal, from horses to dogs, to goats.
The latest addition to the farm is the construction of a wood fired oven which is currently the home of Slowfire Bakery. This separately operated business generates rental income through the production of woodfired breads sold at local markets year round. You can find out more about that business by visiting their website. www.slowfirebakery.com
Ideally we will sell the farm to someone who wants to maintain the relationship with Slowfire and continue to let them compliment the farm and the community with their superior products.
