Have you ever dreamed of owning a manageable working farm in Vermont with solid income potential and could be certified organic? Look no further than 81 Basin Harbor Road. Sited on a level 120 acres with over 500' of frontage on the Otter Creek in the center of the Champlain Valley, this property includes a neat and tidy 3 bedroom, 2-story residence with an attached one-bedroom apartment (think farm manager or Airbnb agricultural tourism), a large restructured barn set up for small ruminants, a barnyard with a new drainage system, fertile soil, and fenced pastures all with Green Mountain and Adirondack views. Many improvements have been made in the last 3 years (see list). All of the heavy lifting has been done so the next owner can hit the ground running. There is a building envelope for another residence and a grandfathered location for a highly visible possible farm store with good traffic counts.
