Property Description
The Drake House is a rare Vermont landmark, nearly two centuries in the making and thoughtfully carried forward by generations of careful stewards. Built in 1825 by Asaph Drake and his wife, this distinguished brick Federal home has long held an important place in the Middlebury area, with later connections to the Morgan Horse Farm, ownership by a Middlebury College president, and listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Most recently purchased in 2023, the 5,030-square-foot home has been meticulously modernized for contemporary living while preserving the character, craftsmanship, and soul that make it irreplaceable. Light-drenched interiors feature original pumpkin pine floors, historic brickwork, marble accents, reclaimed oak flooring, a restored archway, and elevated updates throughout, including a custom kitchen with coffered ceilings, walnut island, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher, and black enamel AGA propane range. Surrounded by approximately 650 acres of conserved land just five minutes from Middlebury village, the property feels deeply private while remaining closely connected to the landscape, with gardens, a pond, outdoor living spaces, and access to the MALT system’s 18-mile trail network. Inside, gracious gathering spaces, a parlor with fireplace and beehive/pizza oven, a serene primary wing with office and cedar sauna, and a wine cellar create a home that is both historic and deeply livable. A post-and-beam barn/garage with guest apartment, additional barn, and second driveway complete this beautifully renewed Federal-era retreat, ready for its next chapter.
