Home Concept Architecture Lifestyle Site Plan and Lots FFHOA Contact Living at Foote Farm gives one the best of two worlds: a bucolic, "away from it all" lifestyle surrounded by open space and preserved farmland... but just minutes from the amenities of a bustling college-town community. Located in "dairy country" of the Champlain Valley of west-central Vermont, Foote Farm is in Cornwall, a rural town of 26 square miles and approximately 1200 people immediately to the west and south of Middlebury, home of Middlebury College. Most needs — whether shopping, recreational, athletic, healthcare (including Porter Medical Center), entertainment, dining or social — can usually be accommodated easily in Middlebury proper, just a five minute drive east on Route 125. Lectures, concerts and gallery exhibits abound at Middlebury College. The newly-renovated Town Hall Theatre hosts plays and concerts; the After Dark Music Series combines light meals and desserts with blues, folk, Celtic and acoustic performers at the First United Church. Live music is also performed regularly at 51 Main at the Bridge, downstairs at Carol's Hungry Mind Cafe' and at Two Brothers Tavern. The week-long Festival on the Green brings free live music to Middlebury each July. Local farmers offer fresh produce, cheese, flowers and crafts at the festive Farmers' Market in Middlebury on Wednesdays and Saturdays from May to October. Like to eat? Restaurants in Vermont are known for letting locally-sourced ingredients shine on their own merits. Within a 15 minute drive from Foote Farm are a dozen or so outstanding eateries in all price ranges. In Middlebury, try the Storm Cafe by the falls, Two Brothers Tavern, American Flatbread for wood-fired organic pizzas and local beers, Mister Up's, Sama's Middlebury Market or Costello's Market. Ten minutes southwest is the Shoreham Inn. North, try Tourterelle for French country cuisine on Rt 7 in New Haven, the Black Sheep Bistro in Vergennes and the Starry Night Cafe in Ferrisburgh. Heading east, there's the Bobcat Cafe and Mary's at the Inn at Baldwin Creek in Bristol and Cafe Provence in Brandon. For sports fans, the Chip Kenyon Arena at Middlebury College is packed for hockey games in the winter, and you can be home within minutes after the game! Prefer to play? The Memorial Sports Center in Middlebury has youth and adult leagues. The 18-hole Ralph Myrhe Golf Course at Middlebury College is uncrowded, reasonable in price and open to the public. The Basin Harbor Club is 30 minutes away, in Vergennes. For those who like to sweat it out in the gym, Middlebury Fitness and Vermont Sun Fitness Center are right in town. Hiking and snowmobile trails abound. Should you need to leave town, Burlington International Airport is an easy 50 minute drive up Route 22A to Route 7 north to 189 east.
