Twenty years of Vermont led us here.
For more than two decades, our family has been coming to Vermont — for the mountains, the lakes, the woods, and the kind of people you only find at the end of a quiet road. Somewhere along the way, we made a promise to each other: we would find a place to call our home away from home.
We knew the instant we pulled into the driveway.
After years of searching, we found AJ Farm. The barns. The house. The yard rolling gently toward the lake. It was already whole — already what we had been quietly looking for.
We didn't need to imagine what it could become. We just needed to listen to what it already was.
"We lightly touched the property to highlight its beauty — not to change its legacy."
True to its core.
Our work here has been quiet by design. We've cared for what was already beautiful — the barns, the land, the long views — and resisted the urge to make it into something it was never meant to be.
Vermont taught us this kind of patience. The best places aren't built; they're kept.
An invitation, not a transaction.
We've been welcomed in Vermont for twenty years. Opening AJ Farm is our way of returning the favor — sharing our love of this place with people who want to slow down, explore the town and the state, and write their own memories into the same fields and rooms that hold ours.
