226 Rue Hoey

Historic Rowen Farm is an extraordinary Vermont country property, where 87.92 private acres across 2 separately deeded parcels of reclaimed meadow, woodland, brooks and mountain views surround an exceptionally restored circa-1812 Federal farmhouse. Restored stone walls trace the land, woodland trails invite exploration, and open meadows extend toward the ridgeline, creating a setting that feels both expansive and intimate. Inside, exceptional historic preservation meets refined modern comfort. Original wide-plank floors, exposed beams, doors, period details and 4 wood-burning fireplaces are complemented by updated kitchen, baths and lighting by Teaselwood Designs. The home unfolds with a welcoming flow as the renovated kitchen opens to breakfast, dining and living spaces filled with natural light and views. Porches and decks extend living outdoors, while a mudroom, ski/gear room, laundry and outdoor shower make returning from mountain or trail effortless. The 4-bedroom, 5-bath layout is equally suited to quiet weekends or a full house. A first-floor ensuite guest room offers privacy, while a library/office leads to a separate wing with bonus room, 3/4 bath and exterior entrance, creating flexibility with potential for a private first-floor suite. Outside, the property becomes its own four-season retreat, with room to hike, bike, explore or simply enjoy the quiet. A farmer maintains the meadows, preserving the pastoral setting, while the relocated town road enhances setback and privacy. A barn/garage with loft and lean-to adds storage and character. A comprehensive 2003 restoration by skilled craftsmen included major system upgrades and a full basement excavated beneath the original house. A 4-bedroom wastewater system was permitted in 2022 and a new shingle roof completed in 2026. High-speed fiber internet keeps you connected. Offered largely furnished with limited personal exclusions. Just 8 miles from Okemo, with easy access to Woodstock and Killington.
