Stay at our farmhouse and enjoy the best of both worlds – pastoral Vermont and everything Middlebury has to offer! The house is situated on Weybridge's scenic Sheep Farm Road and conveniently located just over a mile from downtown Middlebury and Middlebury College. It's the perfect landing spot for Middlebury College parents, people visiting family & friends in the area, and those adventuring in central Vermont.
The first floor has a mudroom, an open concept kitchen-dining-living area with a TV, two bedrooms (one queen bed, one full bed), and a full bath with a laundry closet. The second floor has a large bedroom (queen bed) and a sitting area with a desk and lounge chair. There's a large deck off the back for watching sunsets, a small deck off the living room, a large yard with a firepit area, and driveway for three vehicles.
This property served as the modest farmhouse on a dairy farm in the 1800s and 1900s. The original part of the farmhouse was built in 1850 and added onto over time. We purchased the property from a neighbor and renovated the farmhouse in 2022. We lived in the home with our family of four until March 2025. Now we live next door :-)
Other things to note:
While the farmhouse has been thoroughly updated, some of its "bones" reflect its roots from the 1850s. Please be aware of the following:
- The 2nd floor has a lower ceiling height (~6'6" in the center and then dropping under the eaves).
- The entrance to the stairs has a low ceiling height (~5'10" above the first steps and then it opens up).
- There is a small step at the entrance to the bathroom.
The house across the street is currently being restored. This does not have much impact on our property, but there are contractors on site most weekdays.
The location:
Sheep Farm Rd has so much to offer! It's literally just minutes from Middlebury, but has all the charm and beauty of being in rural Vermont. Many college students and area residents come to Sheep Farm Rd to walk, run, and bike – enjoying the quiet of Weybridge, taking in views of the Green Mountains, and taking advantage of the proximity to town.
Our road also backs up to a portion of the Trail Around Middlebury (AKA the "TAM"), which is a trail maintained by the Middlebury Area Land Trust (MALT). The trail directly behind Sheep Farm Rd follows a creek through a wooded area. On north end, it connects to another portion of the trail that leads you through fields, around a pond, and into another set of woods in Weybridge. On the south end, it connects to a wooded area, followed by fields that lead you to Middlebury College's beloved Knoll gardens.
Believe it or not, we also have a sheep farm on Sheep Farm Rd! The Duclos Thompson Farm has self-serve honor store on the premises of the sheep farm, where folks can purchase local meat and eggs from the farm at their convenience.
