Foote Farm is a settlement of residential building sites for sale just three miles from Middlebury College. For each building lot the roads, utilities and the septic system are in place. Each site is fully permitted and ready to build. Each home owner has common use and ownership of over 100 acres of open farmland, a large protected wetland, and deep hemlock forests, preserved in perpetuity through a partnership with the Middlebury Area Land Trust.

The Foote Farm resides on one of the most beautiful tracts of land in the Middebury area, in Cornwall Vermont. While real estate in the Middlebury area has long been at a premium, permitted building lots ready for sale in Middlebury have been few. None of those that are available match the Foote Farm for its level of privacy and its variety of unique land for building homes. The building lots and the common conserved land are part of a farm that has been in the Foote family for over two hundred years.

Foote Farm is about conservation in its truest sense, saving what is of value. It is part of a larger effort to conserve a Vermont farm of over 300 acres. The enterprise makes possible the improvement and conservation of the open farmland for its agricultural use as well as its beauty, and the preservation of the farms' culturally significant homestead, long a landmark in Addison County.

Unlike most land for sale in Middlebury and surrounding towns, these lots are carved into the farms' woodland, hidden from the roads, while leaving most of the woodland and the open fields intact. Each lot is secluded from its neighbors and offers its own natural landscape and its own feeling of Vermont. Each home-site is fully prepared to accommodate the construction of a house built in a classic New England-style architectural form.

For many, The Foote Farm offers a way back to Vermont. To others it is an introduction to what we feel is the best of Vermont. A carefully planned and controlled residential environment, a wooded, rural setting minutes from Middlebury College - The Foote Farm is a unique opportunity for those who are returning to an area they know well, as well as for those discovering for the first time the value of life in Vermont. To retain the quality of life we enjoy here, the development of Vermont real estate must be enacted with the greatest care. We encourage those interested in Vermont life to contact us.
