SPRING HILL FARM - A Storied Vermont Estate with Timeless Appeal. Set amidst the rolling hills of Barnard, Vermont, Spring Hill Farm is a distinguished country estate where historic charm and thoughtful stewardship come together across 207 acres of beautifully maintained landscape. Anchoring the property is a stately brick residence dating to 1795, offering a refined sense of heritage and permanence. A later addition introduces a striking post-and-beam great room, with soaring cathedral ceilings and a fieldstone fireplace that brings warmth, scale, and a sense of rustic elegance to the home's traditional architecture. The result is a sophisticated yet approachable interior, ideal for both intimate gatherings and relaxed everyday living. The grounds are equally compelling. A series of manicured ponds adds visual interest and tranquility, drawing wildlife and reflecting the changing sky. Meandering through the property is a spring-fed stream, which courses gently across the land-its flow punctuated by small waterfalls. The estate also includes a variety of well-preserved outbuildings,including a potting shed, sugar house, and a recently renovated guest cabin nestled high up in a quiet meadow with big views. While the estate enjoys gentle visibility within the surrounding landscape, it offers a unique sense of openness, rhythm, and retreat-perfect for those seeking a connection to land, light, and legacy.

A rare opportunity for true year-round enjoyment. This is a remarkable chance to own a home on a motorboat lake - with a private dock - just minutes from both the Mount Snow and Hermitage Club ski resorts, hiking, biking, and snowmobile trails, and the charming village of Wilmington, Vermont. Lake Raponda stands apart from the other lakes in the area in one important way: because larger boats tend to head for the public-access Harriman Reservoir on the southern end of Wilmington, Raponda remains a predominantly owner-enjoyed lake. The result is noticeably less boat noise and wake, making it equally wonderful for kayaking, paddleboarding, and peaceful summer mornings on the water. The property sits on a generous, nicely sized parcel with sweeping level lawn space, a private yard with fire pit, ample parking, kayak racks, and a private dock - which transforms into an ice skating destination come winter. Inside the fully remodeled and expanded vintage four-bedroom, four-bath lake house, an open-concept floor plan invites you in with warm wood floors throughout, a living room anchored by a wood-burning stove set in a stone hearth, and a well-appointed kitchen with stainless appliances and island. A relaxing entertainment area with full bath flows into the heated sunroom addition, with expansive windows framing the lake views and opening onto a wraparound deck. A generous mudroom entry handles gear for every season with ease. Upstairs, the primary suite offers wonderful natural light and a luxurious bath, alongside three spacious guest bedrooms, two additional full baths, custom built-in storage, and a lovely office space. The practical upgrades here are just as impressive: efficient mini-split heating and air conditioning, an attached garage for gear storage, an updated septic system, and a private driveway with ample parking. All of it recently completed, the home is completely turnkey - so all you'll have to worry about is downtime, not upkeep.

Own an iconic piece of the Mad River Valley. For over 60 years, this barn was home to three beloved restaurants: Orsini's, La Pasta, and finally The Common Man, before a million-dollar 2019 renovation transformed it into three independent luxury residences, each with its own kitchen, living space, private hot tub, and patio with grill. This isn't just a condo building; it's a compound. An extended family or group of close friends can each have a private home under one roof, together for the holidays and just as easily apart the rest of the year. Unit 1 offers single-level living with no stairs; ideal for effortless, full participation from every generation. Unit 3's main living space is also main-level, with just a few steps up (easily rampable) and two en-suite bedrooms above. Unit 2, tucked into the lower level, is its own quiet, private retreat. Units 1 and 3 also offer the option to add a lockable connecting door; joining the two as one larger home, or opening up an entirely new rental configuration. The Mad Bus stops right out front for effortless access to Lincoln Peak and Mount Ellen skiing, with hiking trails right outside the door come summer. At the heart of it all: a great room with soaring cathedral ceilings, exposed barn timber, reclaimed windows, an antler chandelier, and a stone fireplace built for snowy Vermont evenings. Since 2019, the Mad House has run as a thriving, self-managed short-term rental with a proven history; rented individually or as the "Whole House," a favorite for weddings and reunions. Whether as a family retreat, a shared home among friends, or an income property, The Mad House offers what no new construction can: history, character, and irreplaceable Mad River Valley charm!
