Welcome to Ginseng Hill Farm. If you become the next caretaker of this property you are joining a cast of characters that is truly amazing. One of the owners was a civil war officer who fought at Gettysburg... there was a female Bootlegger and possibly a brothel madam. We have had an internationally renowned medical researcher whose findings are now common household knowledge. The current owner is an amazing visual artist and is responsible for the incredible state of the property today. Built c. 1789, it was a typical 18th-century post and beam Colonial Cape with a massive central chimney with three fireplaces plus a cooking Hearth and beehive oven. Two rooms remain in almost the original condition with hardwood Pine Floors still intact and divided by a Colonial Farmhouse staircase. The original residents would not recognize it today. The current owner has created a stunning great room which includes the kitchen and dining area. The custom kitchen and its abundance of windows with views of the surrounding landscape are sure to impress. Additionally, the property includes a separate barn with a garage, studio apartment & sauna. One also finds an intimate stone chapel that offers a peaceful and meditative space. With 43+/- private acres of unparalleled quality, this property is certainly a rare find. The price of $1.6 million reflects the exceptional nature of the property, and it's definitely worth a viewing for anyone interested in quintessential Vermont real estate.
