Property Description
A rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of Vermont and literary history. Lovingly designed and restored by the creators of the beloved Llama Llama children's book series and the accompanying Netflix animated series, this extraordinary mini-estate is offered for the first time by the family. The meticulously restored and maintained five-bedroom, five-bath, 6,100+ square foot post-and-beam home seamlessly blends a late-1700s brick home, an 1820 clapboard addition, and thoughtfully designed post-and-beam additions completed in 2012. Historic character has been carefully preserved while incorporating modern construction, insulation, systems, a built-in generator, and today's amenities. Wide-plank hardwood floors, custom woodwork, vintage soapstone sinks with modern fixtures, antique hardware, and even a firepole reflect exceptional craftsmanship throughout. A soaring, light-filled studio where the bestselling books were created offers endless possibilities as a family room, entertaining space, creative studio, home office, gym, or home business. A rooftop deck overlooks the picturesque village of Lower Bartonsville and its iconic covered bridge. Above the detached two-car post-and-beam garage is a striking apartment or office with 20-foot ceilings and cork flooring. The 2.82-acre setting is equally extraordinary, with mature perennial gardens, remnants of an apple and pear orchard, whimsical stone stairways, and handcrafted stone walls built by renowned stonemason Dan Field. The property also overlooks an adjacent pond with ducks, herons and river otters.The centerpiece is the spectacular restored foundation of a 19th-century grist mill, reclaimed over 15 years and rising more than 60 feet in places. An adjacent 3.6-acre parcel with the historic mill dam is available separately. Minutes to I-91, The Vermont Country Store, Chester, and just 20 minutes to Okemo Mountain Resort. Showings start 8/3.
