Post Mills balances lakeside leisure with small-village ease, set within Thetford in Orange County. With Lake Fairlee at its edge, residents enjoy quiet mornings on the water and starry nights free of city glare, yet they’re within an easy drive of Norwich and about 20 minutes from Hanover for work, dining, and cultural events. Town services and recreation information are readily available through the Town of Thetford, making it simple to plug into local life.
Families appreciate a strong education pipeline, with Thetford Elementary School feeding into the region’s renowned Thetford Academy, a historic independent public academy known for its academics, arts, and the Woods Trail cross-country course. Weekends revolve around the water—Lake Fairlee invites paddling, fishing, and summer swims—and a quick drive up the ridge leads to Thetford Hill State Park for hiking, picnics, and winter Nordic loops. Aviation buffs know Post Mills for its grassroots airport scene, where gliders ride thermals and local creativity shows up in quirky, much-loved yard art. Housing ranges from classic farmhouses and tidy capes to lake-season camps converted for year-round living, with many roads offering pastoral or mountain views and access to modern essentials like fiber internet.
