The Knowles Farmhouse is a classic Charlotte property and ready to renovate! Sited on 5 acres with two classic red barns, this property would make a terrific family home. Raise goats, chickens, or sheep! Or just enjoy the Vermont vernacular architecture of the classic barns and beautiful mountain views. Located on the corner of Ferry Road and Lake Road, the property is minutes to the Charlotte Beach and marina. The home can be purchased with the additional acreage totaling 104 acres. The 100 acres are in a conservation easement with Vermont Land Trust to be farmed. There are plenty of local farmers that would grow crops and make this land useful for the community. Currently, the home has an upstairs kitchen and three bedrooms, a full bath, and was used for the family's grandmother. The lower level has a full kitchen living room, bedroom, full bath, office, and porch. Combining the two levels is doable since the original doorways are intact to open the first floor to the second floor via the central hallway. The house has been pre-inspected and the stone foundation is in good condition. Renovate the home in this prime location with new updates and insulation. Lease out the farmland and have a sustainable lifestyle. The roof is 2.5 years young, new two car garage, newer hot air furnace, new drilled well. Bike to the Charlotte Beach or hike Mt Philo - only 20 minutes to downtown Burlington Vermont.

The wetlands that surround the stream running through the center of the property are gorgeous with a mix of sedge meadows and shallow marshes. The hemlock dominated forest on the east side of the stream is majestic dotted with pools of water- these tracks of land used more by wildlife then people are the exception to the norm in Charlotte. The forested streams and intact wetlands also protect water quality and support the health of the Laplatte River which runs nearby" Currently the owners have the Laplatte Organic Beef Cattle grazing a portion of the land for Vermont Current Use Tax Benefits.

Escape to the Vermont countryside and bring everyone. Two separate houses, a 2007 timber-frame home and an 1840s farmhouse, rest on an 80-acre farm with a river running through it and gorgeous valley views. The main house provides comfortable and sustainable living with solar panels, geothermal heating and cooling, and a custom-built masonry heater. The farmhouse can shelter groups large and small, a caretaker, or generate income as a bed and breakfast, vacation rental, or long-term lease. More income comes from sixty acres of timber currently under a forest management plan. Keep horses, sheep, or cows on eight acres of fenced pasture with a two-story barn for hay storage or winter housing. Press cider from your apple orchard; boil maple syrup from your sugarbush; or pick blueberries, currants, and raspberries from your perennial beds. Enjoy all that Vermont has to offer, every season, from this central location.
