After more than 180 years the Hay family is parting with this beautiful West Rupert farmstead. This is a unique and special property blending village convenience, village commercial zoning, with 25A of incredible flat/tillable prime agricultural meadowland, a 5 bedroom colonial farmhouse, and a substantial 30x50 shop building with two solar arrays with a double Tesla Powerwall. The land and location are ideal with tillable meadows, frontage along White Creek, access to the D&H rail trail, a short walk to the store and post office and 15 minutes to Dorset and 40 minutes to Saratoga Springs, NY. There's even a small orchard with fruit trees, raspberries & blueberries. The house provides a spacious living room with stone propane fireplace and high ceilings, a recently installed eat-in kitchen, a mudroom, laundry room, a bedroom w/ ¾ bath, a large office or bedroom, plus an extra room with plumbing (currently a hair salon) all on the first level. Upstairs includes 4 bedrooms and a large full bath with laundry. Amenities include a great private back porch with fenced in areaa wrap around front porch, walk up attic, oil baseboard hot water and radiant floor heat, 6 mini split heat pumps for additional heating and cooling, a small storage barn in addition to the 30x50 shop building with radiant floor heat (oil or wood). The value here is incredible and the possibilities myriad. A special place to settle down and set your roots. School choice for 7th - 12th and high speed internet.
