📍 1333 Route 153, Pawlet, Vermont
A rare opportunity to own a 300-acre Vermont farm rooted in American agricultural history. Established in 1863 as Vermont’s first cheesemaking co-op by Consider Stebbins Bardwell, this remarkable property has been thoughtfully revived for modern use.
This is more than a historic farm, it’s a lifestyle property with extraordinary versatility and income potential. Continue the celebrated cheesemaking operation with a fully equipped, FDA-inspected facility and five custom aging caves, or reimagine the infrastructure for grass-fed beef, dry-aged steaks, organic hay production, or a farm-to-table event venue for weddings and retreats. The two guest houses already generate strong rental revenue and enhance the property’s appeal for hospitality use.
Farm Infrastructure: 200’x40’ 19th-century gambrel barn with full cheesemaking facility, 5 state of the art aging caves & milking annex, 32’x100’ heifer barn, 100’x40’ steel equipment barn, and other historic outbuildings.
Land: +/-300 acres (±130 in NY, 170 in VT), including +/-175 acres of prime meadowland with additional woods and pasture. Much of the land is conserved for grazing & haying under the Grassland Reserve Program.
A Legacy Property where history, beauty and boundless possibilities meet.
