- Description: Majestic Dorset Mountain views set the stage for this extraordinary 175-acre Vermont farm and country property in Danby, Vermont. Set along a quiet dirt road, the beautifully refreshed 1903 farmhouse overlooks an exceptional landscape of open fields, forest, pasture, trails and rolling Vermont countryside. The property has a long agricultural history, formerly operating as both a dairy and alpaca farm and now enjoyed as a horse property. Extensive five-strand livestock fencing, hay fields and substantial usable acreage make this an outstanding opportunity for equestrian use, farming, homesteading or a private Vermont retreat. Miles of trails wind through the land, with direct recreational appeal enhanced by nearby VAST access, a historic apple orchard, and multiple year-round and seasonal brooks. The farmhouse combines classic Vermont character with modern comfort, including charming original details, a Danby marble fireplace, a beautifully maintained local slate roof and an expansive deck positioned to take full advantage of the mountain views and peaceful surroundings. A separate apartment with a tenant provides valuable rental income and excellent flexibility. It could continue as an income-producing unit, serve as private guest quarters, or create an ideal multigenerational living arrangement with separate space for family while still remaining connected to the main property. A large Cummins Onan propane whole-house generator adds convenience and security. The land is enrolled in Vermont Current Use and supported by a 10-year forestry plan, offering meaningful property tax benefits while preserving the working and recreational character of the acreage. For buyers searching for a Vermont horse farm, large-acreage country home, recreational property, income-producing farmstead, multigenerational home or private mountain retreat, this is a rare combination of land, views, history and versatility.
