Take a drive up Nichols Hill Road to Fern Hill and head to the very top of the long bending driveway to find a serene, picturesque artist's retreat 3 minutes from historic Dorset Village. Refreshingly private, quiet and secluded, drenched in natural light. With broad mountain vistas of Mother Myrick and Merck Forest, the top of the property backs gently into a beautiful private forest. The entire property has been carefully curated to encourage wildlife, a rewilding effort in place for 9 years, toxin and poison free. The large, pristine, spring fed swimming pond is the year round home to approximately 50+ healthy colorful Koi and overlooks a soft meadow bordered by old growth forest habitat, much to the delight of birds, butterflies, dragonflies, bees and abundant wildlife. The house is large, eclectic and rustic with a lodge feeling. A simple open concept design with lots of room and a farmhouse kitchen. Abundant windows throughout invite in and embrace the changing light and glistening view all day long. Distressed wide-plank floors, repurposed barn wood walls and beams, natural wood tray ceilings, curving wooden bookshelves and a curving staircase that leads to a half moon studio filled with natural light and sweeping views. Off the farmhouse kitchen find the very substantial screen porch and long sitting porch overlooking the gorgeous, vibrant, spring fed pond which reflects the changing light and soft scenery all day long. Natural beauty and peace, completely private and yet so close to everything.

Encompassing over 200 acres of pasture and forest, Timberland Farm is anchored by an early 1800s farmhouse that feels at once timeless and lived-in, a place shaped by centuries of stories, music, and shared meals. The living spaces feel both intimate and generous, framed by hand-hewn beams and original wide pine floors. From the dining room to the music room, wood-burning fireplaces crowned with antique mantels add warmth and character, while the expansive kitchen hearth draws one in for easy conversation and board games. Built-in bookcases, plaster walls, wood paneling, and windows overlooking the land lend the house a quiet, grounded grace. The farmhouse also includes a lower-level guest apartment with a private entrance. Nearby, a charming guest cabin, once the town's blacksmith shop, provides a private haven for visitors. The barn has been thoughtfully reimagined and now houses a commercial kitchen, gym, and offices, offering flexibility for creative enterprise and agricultural ventures. A separate barn includes a woodworking shop. In recent years, pastureland surrounding the home and pond was reclaimed for grazing goats, restoring the agrarian rhythm of the property. Wildflowers and apple trees scatter the fields. A three-quarter-mile hike through the wood reveals a cool swimming hole. Additional woodland trails invite walking, snowshoeing, and foraging for berries, mushrooms and fiddleheads. Timberland Farm is a legacy holding, and very private, yet within easy reach of Stratton, Bromley, Magic Mtn. and Okemo. 17 miles from Manchester and 26 miles from Rutland Airport. 3 h from Boston and 4 h from New York. No showings through May 16th, 2026. Showings are by APPOINTMENT ONLY. Do not drive up the driveway to view the property. Home is owner-occupied and surveillance is in effect.
