Property Description

STARBUCK FARM, a magical 143+/- acre country estate, is tucked into the North Pomfret hillside a scenic 10 miles outside of the historic Village of Woodstock. Total privacy and view protection are two of Starbuck Farm's grandest features. Its early 19th century charming Cape, with twin fieldstone fireplaces, exposed beams, traditional Vermont mudroom, and weathered shingle-siding, is perched on a knoll overlooking the farmstead complex, surrounding meadows, pasture, wetlands, ponds, perennial gardens, stone walls and rising hillside. Situated to greet guests upon arrival, the main residence offers 4 bedrooms, 1 full & 2 three-quarter baths, a sitting room, living room, formal dining room, and eat-in kitchen. Other buildings include an antique 3 1/2-story 7-stall post-and-beam barn, antique milk house, antique corn crib, dog kennels, rustic log cabin, and sugar house. Amenities include an in-ground heated pool, two spring-fed ponds perfect for swimming and skating, and a network of private woods roads and trails. The topography of the property is varied, and its landscape inclusive of rolling pasture, wetland complexes, a stream - Starbuck Brook, and a mixed forest with a healthy sugar bush and ridgeline stretching to Starbuck Pinnacle - one the highest points in North Pomfret...an important part of the local scenic viewshed. The property is also home to wildlife galore, including whitetail deer, fox, coyote, and wild turkey. Starbuck Farm is a traditional Vermont farm, with a valley floor-to-ridgeline design that affords both local and long-range views and end of the road privacy. The property is ideally located in a region known for its excellent ski resorts, world-class fly fishing, fine dining and shopping, local arts and crafts, farmers markets, scenic bike touring routes and seasonal festivals. Starbuck Farm's total privacy is especially unique given that it is within a half hour drive of all major service amenities, including prestigious Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, Dartmouth College, top-ranked Vermont Law School, theater, cinemas, and recreational activities too numerous to list. The hidden estate is easily accessible from several major east coast cities, including Boston, New York and Washington D.C., as well as international and regional airports.
