### Agent Description
Nestled atop a scenic hill in the heart of Fairfax, this classic Vermont farmhouse offers breathtaking views of Mount Mansfield. The property sits on 4.02 acres of lovingly maintained land cared for by the same family for almost 50 years. The home presents a rare opportunity to own a timeless Vermont farmhouse rich in character, history, and scenic beauty. Conveniently located just 12 minutes from St. Albans, 22 minutes from Smugglers' Notch Resort, and 30 minutes from Burlington, this property offers easy access to local shops, dining, and year-round recreational opportunities, combining convenience with the tranquility of country living. The home features four spacious bedrooms and inviting living areas that reflect the warmth and character of a traditional New England farmhouse. Surrounding the home, you’ll find apple trees, blueberry bushes, and seasonal plantings of tulips and peonies. Adding to the property’s versatility is a barn rebuilt approximately 40 years ago. The barn features three garage bays, providing ample space for equipment, vehicles, storage, hobbies, or creative use. Attached to the barn is an office area, providing flexible space that can be used as a home office, art studio, or workspace. In the winter months, the property’s large hill becomes the perfect setting for sledding and enjoying Vermont’s snowy landscape. With scenic views, spacious grounds, and classic farmhouse character, this property offers endless possibilities!
