Within only 20 minutes to Montpelier, enjoy a very private location with distant mountain views and abutment to conserved land. Located at the end of the road, with a couple of rural neighbors, the site is set up for your own little farm and agricultural environment - Give the seedlings a head start in the greenhouse,then transfer to the organic garden areas, one being fenced with raised bed gardens. Blueberries, raspberries and a young orchard of apple, plum, and cherry trees add to your harvest. The two-stall run in barn, with attached storage is perfect for horses, goats, sheep, and chickens. A small spring fed pond adds to the landscape. You could be self-sustaining in your own little world. The country setting is perfect for the cabin-like chalet with post and bean construction. Custom designed by the current owners,with use of architectural salvaged elements, they have created a unique rustic southwestern decor. Heating costs are very low with the energy efficient insulated 12" and 8" concrete block wall construction, requiring only 1.5 -2 cords of wood for heat per winter (with back up radiant floor heat). This property is authentic Vermont with the perks of living close to the amenities of Montpelier.
