Description

Red Top is a breathtaking 506 +/- acre parcel in the town of Andover and on the border of Weston. Here, the rugged grandeur of the Green Mountains unfolds, offering extraordinary views to the South, where the mountain silhouettes stretch across the skyline and the imposing profile of Glebe Mountain asserts its presence. This land's historical roots run deep, originally belonging to the Marsh family for over 200 years, and presently in the hands of a family devoted to its restoration. Inspired by John Marsh who first settled here in 1797, the owners have worked for more than 15 years to bring the abandoned meadows and woodlands back to life, rejuvenate the soil and increase the productivity of the land. As you traverse the quiet country lane leading to the base of Markham Mountain, Red Top includes 53 acres of rolling meadows, bound by historic stone walls that suggest a pastoral past, where sheep and cows once grazed under the watchful eye of the Marsh family. A brook winds through the edge of the property and the Vast Trail runs through another section. With no existing structures to limit the imagination, this property stands as an exceptional site for building a home, offering endless possibilities for both regenerative farming and equestrian interests. Hay meadows managed according to organic principles--with two cuts annually--echoes a commitment to sustainable living. It's a place where gravel biking, long walks, and the delights of snowshoeing or cross-country skiing become everyday joys, not just occasional pastimes. For skiing, Bromley, Okemo, and Stratton are within 20 - 30 minutes. Boston is 3 hours away, and New York is 4.5 hours away. The nationally renowned Weston Theater and The Vermont Country Store are 4.5 miles away. The property is enrolled in current use. Make sure to watch the video.
