271 bailey farm

Pristine Harvey’s Lake is a prime spot for lakeside living in Vermont. Imagine stunning sunsets, fall colors, sparkling waters, and misty early morning paddles. Six years ago, the owners built a new home which incorporated their fresh architectural take and energy-efficient approach. The dramatically open interiors stream with light. Because of the structural system, one enjoys full connectivity on all three floors. And yet the open spaces can easily be designed to suit the needs of new owners. The 4-mile trip from I-91 (connecting with I-93/I-89) induces a fresh mindset, crossing along the agricultural ridgeline leading to the destination, a private lane with a handful of largely seasonal homes. Barnet is ideally situated on the southern tier of the Northeast Kingdom. Convenient access to the White Mountains, the Upper Valley, great skiing/mountain biking at East Burke, the Rail Trail, numerous hospitals, and one of many quintessential Vermont towns, Peacham. It’s a simple drive to vibrant St. Johnsbury. St. J’s boasts of a prestigious Academy (free tuition for Barnet residents), the Athenaeum, Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium, Catamount Arts, the Dog Chapel, a variety of markets, breweries, art galleries and restaurants. Enjoy the simple access to milfoil-free waters, a well-laid out kitchen pivoting around the Thermador stove, the hot tub on the deck, heated 2-car garage, low maintenance, and energy efficiency. Year-round living and working on an idyllic lake!
