West Halifax rewards people who value quiet roads, working landscapes, and starry night skies. Set amid the high hills of Windham County, this small hamlet places you close to everyday needs in Wilmington and the creative energy of Brattleboro, while keeping home life refreshingly peaceful.
Weekend plans come easy. Hike the fire tower trail and picnic at Molly Stark State Park, or scan the 100-mile panorama from the preserved ridgeline of the Hogback Mountain Conservation Area. Powder days are a short drive to Mount Snow, and shoulder seasons invite long rambles on trails within the Green Mountain National Forest. Culture is close by too: exhibits rotate at the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center, and world-class chamber music returns each summer at the Marlboro Music Festival.
Families appreciate the town’s intimate elementary setting and the well-regarded regional schools that serve older students, along with year-round recreation leagues and seasonal traditions, from sugarhouse open houses to the Brattleboro Area Farmers’ Market. Housing ranges from classic farmhouses along stone-walled lanes to efficient cabins tucked in the trees, with acreage options for gardens, animals, and workshops.
