Do you love the privacy and self-sufficiency of Vermont but don't want to be too far in the sticks? Look no further - this recently built, spacious, financeable, off-grid cape is your answer! Just off the interstate exit and up and up a winding, but well maintained, private road you will find your sustainable Vermont dream home. While the saying "dream home" may be cliche, there is nothing ordinary about this house: standing in woods encircled meadow, it is powered by the sun (with a back up generator) and filled with custom features throughout from the extensive woodwork to marble bathroom sinks, dual master shower and Corian kitchen counters. The finished walkout basement has been used as an "unofficial" in-law suite and is wired and plumbed for a kitchenette. Radiant floors, extra rooms that can be used for guest sleeping quarters and a spacious deck makes this a great place to host and live in. But the best is outside the abode- beyond the garden space, luscious pasture and a babbling brook running through that runs through the yard, you can hike, birdwatch, hunt, forage for mushrooms, cross-country ski, four-wheel, or just enjoy the 40 plus acres of magic forest, complete with trails to guide you through these vast holdings. Bear, turkey, and deer are abundant! The home is 15 minutes to Montpellier and 45 to Burlington airport... Priced at bank appraised value! Call me now to arrange a showing.

Our office deals with remote land and camps on a regular basis. We like to preserve Vermont heritage lands. Sometimes a special piece of land comes along, and this parcel qualifies. It's remote, the whole area is coveted by locals because your only 5 miles from down town Montpelier, yet here is a parcel of land on an extremely good class 4 road that takes you up to thousands of acres that the town is trying to preserve and currently on the market. There is a gentle slope to the property and if you come to clearing and camp on the right you've come just a little too far, but you'll see the view potential. Wonderful location for off the grid home or camp retreat. Locals have taken the sign off the post for good reason, they don't want people up there. Protect our Vermont Heritage, keep it in the family. Please respect memorial and cross on side of road. Great place for winter sports, and sugaring.
