1161 State Route 313

25 acres, a river at your back, & more beauty & possibilities than most properties twice the price. This property delivers a rare combination of residential comfort, functional outbuildings, & genuine business infrastructure -- all with direct Battenkill River frontage at the rear of the property. The setting alone-open fields, old barns, a charming storefront, & one of the Northeast's most celebrated trout streams as your back boundary - makes this compound a natural canvas for an event venue, wedding destination, corporate retreat, artist residency, or any number of live-work visions. The 1940 farmhouse has been substantially renovated while retaining its soul. The recently updated kitchen is the heart of the home -- soapstone counters, a beautiful hooded range, under-counter microwave, and an island that opens to a dining area with sweeping views of the property through oversized windows. The living room is separate & cozy for more intimate gatherings. A mudroom and half bath with bluestone floors sit between the side entrance & the garage & 1 bedroom w/ its own entrance & sweet porch rounds out the main level. Upstairs holds 2 addtl bedrooms, a full bath, an office or reading nook, & a laundry area. Full basement, attached 2-car garage w/ extra storage room & pull-down attic access complete the home. The finished barn is the crown jewel - concrete floors, workshops, a studio apartment w/ kitchenette & full bath, & a partial 2nd-story loft perfect as a reading room, creative studio, or storage. The 2nd barn is unfinished w/ a 4-bay garage & ready for whatever direction you take it. The recently built 2-story storefront w/ wraparound porch, bluestone floors, and exposed wood - previously owner-operated, now vacant - adds yet another layer of possibility to this remarkable compound. 2 addtl sheds round out the outbuildings. Water softener and filtration system serve both the house & apartment. Live here, work here, create here1
