The Governor Carpenter homestead in Guilford, VT is looking for its next Steward. Constructed in 1772 by Benjamin Carpenter, the first Lt. Governor of Vermont, this historic property has been lovingly cared for by the present owners for decades. They have assembled over 260 acres during their tenure to create a diverse parcel of land that includes fields, forest, fruit orchards, miles of stonewall, and about 6 miles of hiking trails. Across a dirt road from the home is a lovely pond, with the remnants of an old barn foundation. Adding to the sense of history is the tradition that Ethan Allen and the Green Mountain Boys camped out in the enclosed garden near the house. The house itself, with its center chimney, is gracious and charming. An unusual feature is the squared off Palladian window over the front door. Only three similar examples are known to exist in Vermont, all in the vicinity of Guilford. The large fireplace in the living room is adjoined by a beehive oven; there are four additional working fireplaces, as well as a Franklin stove in the kitchen. While there is 21st century plumbing in the house today, the original one-hole privy is still in the carriage house across the breezeway from the house. History, Charm and Character. This is a piece of American history that can be yours.

The Briggs Farm circa 1785, when Vermont was Republic of Vermont (1777-1791), not yet the 14th state & Guilford, the most populated towns makes one marvel at the handiwork of early Vermont settlers. It's believed that a water-powered sawmill was first built on the property & then the 2.5 story, center hall colonial was constructed on the south-facing plateau using beams & lumber cut from the land & Guilford slate. The site offers views of the pastures, the stream, wetlands & the managed woodlands. The land, 284 acres (245 in Guilford & 39.45 in Brattleboro) offer great protection & control. The owners, who bought the house in 1952 with 145 acres added multiple additional parcels, including the 3 acre site of the original sawmill. Significant work was believed to have been done on the house in the 1860s. Significant restoration & upgrades to the house, including major energy-efficiency improvements in 2012, have been ongoing. The home's simplicity and antique features have been preserved. Original, wide pine & oak, random width floors, a rebuilt central fireplace with surrounding raised panels, boxed beams, wainscotting, solid 4 panel doors with antique hardware & built-in bookcases all contribute the appeal. The 30'x25',post & beam barn has a concrete floor & sliding door for vehicles on the bottom level & storage on the two above. Property enrolled in Current Use. Buyer must agree to re-enroll or bear any penalty. Brokers-Please disclose additional info-Non-public remarks!
