Two Pigs Farm is a hillside retreat in Southern Vermont's Taconic Range, where meadows are bound by ancient maple trees, stone walls and two clear brooks. The circa 1989 farmhouse and barns feel timeless--rooted, quietly graceful--designed for comfort, and connection. Inspired by childhood summers in Sandgate, the owner dreamed of a place where time stretches: mornings for berry picking, afternoons for reading, and late winter for tapping maples--reconnecting with the rhythms of nature.

A wide porch gazes across to rounded hills. The screened porch, with its pass-through to the kitchen, is perfect for summer suppers. Under the dappled shade of trees, a walled stone terrace welcomes lingering meals and conversations that last into starlight. Perennial gardens bloom from early spring to autumn’s last blaze.

The kitchen is a true chef’s haven, spacious and inviting, with an AGA range, Viking appliances, marble and soapstone counters, a walk-in pantry, and a tucked-away office. Wood-burning fireplaces anchor the library and living room. The primary suite has its own hearth; four more bedrooms offer room for guests.

With a 7-stall horse barn, one bedroom studio/art space over the car barn with a commercial kitchen below, infinity pool, sauna house, solar array, greenhouse, trout pond, fruit trees and berries--this is more than a farm, it’s a place to re-create. 30 minutes from Manchester/Dorset, 3 hours from New York and Boston.
