Vermont Colonial aka Hawk Gate Farm is a sprawling 352-acre estate, approximately square in shape, nestled in the hills of South Pomfret. This historic landscape, once home to five independent farmsteads, reflects the rich evolution of rural New England from its early post-colonial days to today. At its center lies the Isaac Newton House, a Federal-style brick Cape dating back to around 1790, showcasing beautifully preserved period details.

Realtor Comments

Features include finely crafted fireplace mantels, original window and door moldings, delicately beaded baseboards, a brick hearth with a beehive oven, historic staircase and plastered walls, wide-board flooring, and hand-forged hardware. Isaac Newton, one of Pomfrets earliest settlers, built the home for his wife Betsey and their ten children and raised sheep. A two-bedroom Carriage House, designed in the vernacular of American barns, sits above a spring-fed, five-acre pond. Nearby, a rare high-drive dairy barn dating to circa 1900 still conveys Vermonts early 20th-century dairy legacy with striking form and integrity. Together, these structures speak to more than two centuries of working farm life. The land itself embodies generations of thoughtful stewardship: open meadows, towering maples, birch groves, stone walls, and eight miles of carriage roads–including the Kings Highway, a grassy, stone-lined path believed to date to the 18th century. The farm is for recreation and produces maple syrup in its sugar house, has multiple barns, equipment sheds, and an apartment in the barn. Near Woodstock.
