Luxury Home of the Week: A 12k-square-foot contemporary farmhouse in Vermont

The crown jewel of the property is the dramatic post-and-beam barn, which shows off a two-story stone fireplace set between floor-to-ceiling glass.

This Luxury Home of the Week pick merges farmhouse flair with contemporary style in Cornwall, Vermont.

Located just 2 miles from Middlebury, Vermont, 1515 Cider Mill Road sits on 69.52 acres. The mansion, also known as “Moxie Hill Farm,” sports five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms in 12,000 square feet. Sarah Peluso of IPJ Real Estate has the $6,500,000 listing.

The property — which will be sold fully furnished — was designed by TruexCullins Architects and built by Roundtree Construction in 2015. The crown jewel of the home is the dramatic post-and-beam barn, which shows off a two-story stone fireplace set between floor-to-ceiling glass. Under a soaring vaulted ceiling, the barn offers ample entertaining space, including a full bar and loft.

On the first floor, there’s a handsome office painted blue with built-in shelving, as well as a library with a wall of built-in bookcases and a fireplace. The spacious kitchen shows off a generously sized island and walk-in pantry.

The cooking space leads into an open dining and living area with a wall of glass doors offering a view of the landscape. A hallway past the living room’s wood-burning fireplace leads to the expansive barn.

The primary bedroom suite upstairs includes a vaulted ceiling, fireplace, chandelier, and walk-in closet. Its bathroom features a soaking tub, a standalone shower, double vanity, and water closet. There are three more bedrooms on this level, not to mention a home gym over the three-car garage.

The Vermont mansion offers views of Middlebury, Vt., Middlebury College, and the Green Mountains. There’s an in-ground pool, hot tub, and two fireplaces, as well as landscaped stone patios, fruit trees, and perennials.
