The River House // c.1820

Sitting on the banks of Utley Brook, which meanders through the Clarksville village in Landgrove, Vermont, you will find this gorgeous Cape home in a perfect yellow color (seemingly to blend in with the turning leaves every Fall). The home dates to the early 19th century, possibly earlier, and was owned by the Harlow Family, who operated a saw mill across the street. The house was listed for sale in 2019 and is absolutely stunning inside and out!

    My grandfather Wilfred Faulks owned this house for many years and I spent many days as a child playing here and in the river. He was an architect from New Jersey and he and my grandmother Betty Faulks were great friends of the Ogdens. I remember Fourth of July celebrations in Landgrove helping Sam Ogden make strawberry ice cream, parading down the Main Street. I have some great old photos of the whole Landgrove crew. My parents, Skip and Fran Faulks lived in Londonderry. I was born in Springfield VT. We moved when I was just 4 but we spend many holidays and summers in Vermont. Landgrove was a beautiful place for a kid to grow up. I’m so glad I have those memories!
