Property Description
Consider Stebbins Bardwell’s Legacy: A rare opportunity to own a storied 300-acre Vermont farm rooted in American agricultural history. Established in 1863 as Vermont’s 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 farm’s 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, it’s 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 property’s 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.
