About 3471 Hathaway Pond Road
Rarely does a property emerge that perfectly balances historic charm, cutting-edge sustainability, abundant resiliency elements, and total seclusion. Perched high in the hills on 54 private acres, this exceptional farmhouse preserves its original features while boasting advanced modern infrastructure. A massive solar array, high-efficiency insulation, a durable metal roof, and state-of-the-art central geothermal heating and cooling are paired with super-efficient propane backup for deep winter freezes. Accessible via a town-maintained road, this ultra-private property is surrounded by mature woods with pre-cut trails for hiking or hunting. Nearby, abundant streams, rivers, and reservoirs offer convenient access to fly-fishing and boating. The only sound you will hear is the trickling of a natural, year-round spring that supplies both fresh drinking water and feeds the pristine swimming pond. Inside, the home offers a chef's kitchen with a premium Viking range. An original built-in pass-through cabinet charmingly divides kitchen and dining spaces. The spacious full bathroom has a unique wooden shower and a new washer/dryer. A Vermont Castings wood stove brings warmth to both the living and dining rooms, creating cozy gathering spaces for friends and family. The upper level features four bedrooms with incredible views, each separated by a half-bath. Steps from the house is a multi-use shed with show-stopping picture windows overlooking the pond and picturesque hillside. The shed is newly refinished and ready to be outfitted for the project of your dreams. With gorgeous original wood floors, wood stove, and pre-plumbed drain & propane lines, the shed could be easily converted to a charming event space, music studio, or guest cottage. A separate, well-equipped tool shed has plentiful room for a mower and every kind of tool you could imagine. Currently operating as a popular Airbnb, the property promises a lucrative secondary income stream for those interested. Located only 18 minutes to the charming town of Hancock, and only 2hrs 40min to the GW Bridge, this mountain sanctuary offers a rare opportunity to slow down, recharge, and live in total harmony with nature.
