640 Orchard Drive

ONCE UPON A TIME IN BRIDPORT there was a bucolic farm on 12 acres with a home built in 1888. In the late 20th century a genius truck mechanic with skilled hands which didn't know how to stop working, moved there and fulfilled a dream. He built probably the largest and most complete truck repair garage in private hands in the whole state. Complete with crane, welding room, lathe room, giant doors and high ceiling, there wasn't a stranded semi or wayward tractor which could not be salvaged in its moment of need. Now, having restored the residence to immaculate modernity, added a museum quality barn, and two other outbuildings, this beautiful cared for property is ready for its new owner. There probably isn't a toy, machine, car or four wheel collection that couldn't fit in the oversize shop; or maybe there is another truck genius who wants to live out his specialty while residing in a beautiful home. With two big view homesites which could create a family compound or be sold without impacting the central grouping, the possibilities are endless. Museum, antiques store, as well as riding in the tracks of the present owner. The three bedroom 2450 square foot home with two car garage and backyard gazebo looking at the well stocked pond, surrounded by the rolling hills of Vermont invite your inspection. If the shop's floors are clean enough to eat off of, you can imagine the perfection to be found in this unique offering. See MLS #5070808 RESIDENTIAL
