Timber Frame Farmhouse in Vermont Horse Country

White clapboard farmhouse with a covered porch, red door, and black windows, with mountains and a red barn behind

What We Love About This Home

The glass gable walls are the best part of this timber frame farmhouse, putting the Green Mountains and the old red barn in full view from both the great room and the owner’s bedroom. Inside, the exposed beams, reclaimed hickory floors, and walnut kitchen island keep the white walls from feeling cold. We also like that the front looks like a classic Vermont farmhouse, while the back is mostly glass with a heated pool in the courtyard.

Tell Us: Are you more drawn to the classic clapboard front of this farmhouse or the walls of glass on the back? Let us know in the Comments below!

Down the sloping meadow, the barns include a six-stall stable, an indoor riding arena with a heated viewing area, and a large barn that can be used as guest quarters, a workshop, or a garage for a car collection. The property also has a three-bay garage and a stream that runs around it. Overall, rustic barns and spring-fed ponds scattered throughout the property help to maintain the historic feel.
