The back yard has a great gardening area and the home is surrounded by old stone walls and walkways and nicely landscaped with flowers and beautiful old locust trees. Also included is a 2 car garage that is fronted with stones to match the older home. It has its own well and septic and has a bathroom and an upstairs ideal for a small apartment. There is also a 4 stall ( box stalls) horse barn with hay storage and tack room. Rubber mats in the stalls, hay and water buckets, winterized water setup and a nice turnout area make it all set to go! The home and garage have separate heating systems as well.
The property is located on a quiet dirt road about 2 miles to the public boat access at Benson Landing. It is about 8 miles off Route 22 a in Benson and about an hour or so to the major Ski areas ( Killington and Pico)
This is truly a remarkable "one of a kind" property that is very rich in the Mormon history and their settlement here in Benson many years ago. There was even a book written about it ...House with a Past
