1726 Skitchewaug Trail

Springfield, VT 05156

A circa 1734 Cape, displaying museum quality authentic detailing, in a setting worthy of a Vermont Life Magazine cover! Originally sited in N.H., the Cape was patiently dismantled, with components meticulously cataloged, and then relocated to an idyllic Vermont hilltop setting! The interior seamlessly blends early New England architectural features with benefits of contemporary design amenities. Authentic post and beam construction, gunstock corner posts, exposed beams, extraordinary wide board floors, 4 brick fireplaces, wide board sheathing and hand planed surfaces are desirable components! The advantage of contemporary mechanical systems, a full size cement basement and whole house back up generator are unobtrusive nods to present day conveniences! This classic Cape features the traditional Cape floor plan of family oriented rooms and kitchen on the main floor, with luxury bedroom suites above. A 30'x20' wing off the Cape presents desirable practicality of a privately separated ground level primary bedroom suite. With vaulted ceiling and dramatic windows framing views of the pond and distant hills, this bedroom suite easily becomes a favorite room! Completing this expansive 157 acre estate is a detached private guest cottage with a 4 bay garage below, a large swimming pond, an equipment storage barn and walking trails! Within the extensive 157 acres there is a 24 acre field with agricultural potential! An authentic Cape, in an idyllic setting, without antique home worries!
