The Barnard Inn, an attractive and welcoming property located minutes from Woodstock in Barnard, Vermont, has served as a fine residence since 1796 and more recently as a destination restaurant. Currently, it is well-known for catering distinguished destination wedding events. Situated on 10 acres, the property features manicured perennial gardens, lush meadows, and working gardens, with walking paths leading to a secluded wedding site at a pond. The main brick building includes an extensive private residence with a designer kitchen, a large living room, 5 bedrooms, family rooms, and private spaces. The front entrance leads to 3 historic, elegant formal dining rooms and an updated, state-of-the-art restaurant kitchen. A tavern with 2 dining areas and a classic tavern bar overlooks the garden and fire pit area. A detached barn serves as a dramatic event venue. Below the event barn is a newly renovated studio apartment, suitable for guests seeking private space and currently used as a short-term rental. The property is commercially sound with all permitting and infrastructure in place, presenting turnkey opportunities. Potential uses include a boutique hotel, retreat center, or stately residence. Fine dining and event hosting are established, and transformation into a private estate residence is a potential use.
