Property Description
Consider Stebbins Bardwellâs Legacy: A rare opportunity to own a storied 300-acre Vermont farm rooted in American agricultural history. Established in 1863 as Vermontâs first cheesemaking co-op by Consider Stebbins Bardwell, this remarkable property has been thoughtfully revived for modern use. From 2004-2020 the current owners revived and reinvented the farmâs cheesemaking tradition, producing award-winning artisan cow&goat cheeses recognized by major national&international publications and competitions. This cheese making facility continues to operate and is currently leased out for additional monthly income. This is more than a historic farm, itâs a lifestyle property with extraordinary versatility and income potential. Continue the celebrated cheesemaking operation with a fully equipped, FDA-inspected facility and five custom aging caves, or reimagine the infrastructure for grass-fed beef, dry-aged steaks, organic hay production, or a farm-to-table event venue for weddings and retreats. The two guest spaces already generate strong rental revenue and enhance the propertyâs appeal for hospitality use. Historic Homes & Guest Spaces: Circa 1780s/expanded 1814 Federal brick farmhouse Nicely restored |4 BR, 2 BA|2 Rumford fireplaces|2 Swedish wood stoves|original details|pond and mountain views. Charming Pond-Side Guest House:Nicely restored with excellent rental history. The âSmithyâ, a former cheese house and blacksmith shop, now a cozy studio cottage loved by guests. Farm Infrastructure: 200âx40â 19th-century gambrel barn with full cheesemaking facility, 5 state of the art aging caves & milking annex 32âx100â heifer barn, 100âx40â steel equipment barn, and other historic outbuildings. Land: +/-300 acres (±130 in NY, 170 in VT), including +/-175 acres of prime meadowland with additional woods and pasture.
