Beautifully restored 1806 Vermont farmhouse & “Cook’s Country” TV set | House in Rupert
4 Bedroom House in Rupert
WELCOME TO THE JUDGE SHELDON RESIDENCE a.k.a THE “COOK’S COUNTRY” HOUSE.
Built in 1806 by Judge David Sheldon, a former soldier of the revolutionary war, member of Colonel Benedict Arnold’s regiment, county judge, and local political leader, the home serves as the anchor of the Rupert Village Historic District in the quaint, New England town of Rupert, Vermont. In addition to the 4,000 sq ft residence in which the Sheldons raised their ten children, the 1.85 acre property includes a large horse barn, dairy barn, antique brick smokehouse, milk house, raised-bed garden, and fire pit.
The home was completely renovated in 2008 prior to serving as the set for the first ten seasons of the syndicated PBS television cooking show, Cook’s Country, hosted by celebrity chef Christopher Kimball. As such, the professional kitchen is well appointed with DCS ranges and ovens, and a full array of cooking equipment and appliances. The first floor’s living room, large dining room, wraparound and screened-in porches, and outdoor brick patio, make the home an ideal place for large family gatherings.
The Judge Sheldon Residence sleeps 10 comfortably in its 4 bedrooms—with a king bed in one and queen beds in the other three along with 3 additional twin beds. The 2 full baths feature beautifully tiled showers and one, an antique bear-claw tub. The living room has a working fireplace, a variety of reading material, and a flatscreen television for streaming from your personal devices. WiFi is work-from-home grade (even if Rupert’s electrical grid sometimes isn’t.)
The caretakers and their two dogs live on-premises in a basement apartment with a separate entrance. They tend to the property, gardens, outbuildings, and free-range chickens. They are happy to answer questions and share a bonfire.
