Firefly Farm

529 Kerwin Hill Road, Norwich, VT 05055

At the end of a private road just a few miles' drive north of Ivy League Dartmouth College and one of the most picturesque villages in Vermont, you will find the stillness and privacy of Firefly Farm. Controlling both sides of the road, the property's 54.5 acres of Vermont countryside encompass open meadows, fenced pastures, northern hardwood forests, ancient grandfather stonewalls. Built by renowned craftsmen, Doug Gest and Company, the Federal-style farmhouse enjoys views across the valley to New Hampshire's White Mountains. Combining the charm and vernacular of a historic Vermont hill farmstead with the comfort of ca. 2007 modern amenities, systems, and conveniences, the interior includes cherry floors, period moldings, two fireplaces with lovely hand-built composed mantels and custom built-in cabinetry. With exacting standards and attention to detail, the resulting 11 room home offers a place for everyone and everything – from the inviting four-season porch that even in winter becomes the heart of the house to the Great Room with its open hearth and wood-burning fireplace at one end linked by hand-hewn beams to the gourmet kitchen at the other. A private kingdom located two hours from Boston, four hours from NYC, and three hours from Montreal, recreational, educational, and cultural opportunities abound — from skiing at Killington to world-class medical care at nearby Dartmouth Hitchcock.
