"Tucked in Barnard, Vermont, the property at 650 Francis Road known as Monsalvat Farm is a 400-acre estate comprised of rolling pastures, stone walls, forests, and mountain views. Owned by publishing heir John Noffo Kahn, the property features approximately 18,340 square feet of finished space spread across six buildings. And at a listing price of $39,000,000, it could break the Vermont real estate sales record."
"A bridge built with stone posts and wooden rails crosses over a pond that flows into a stone spillway. The main house on the property, known as "The Sanctuary," holds a perfect blend of impeccable craftsmanship and incredible grandeur. A winding drive leads up to the residence concealed by trees. A massive archway built of granite and hand-laid stone is covered in vines and plantings. When you pass underneath, you reach the courtyard."
""What's remarkable is the sense of grandeur and yet intimacy. It's a mix that I haven't really felt in any other type of home, particularly at this end of the market," says Chris Lang of Bravynia Real Estate, who has the listing."
