Are you considering starting your homestead in the green hills of Vermont??Your fortress on the hill awaits - just 1/4 mile up a private drive 17+ acres - a private paradise with cliff bands to hike+ meadows, woodland, trails and streams Nature is at your doorstep and the owners have over decades established a large chicken coop and fenced vegetable garden with raised beds and improved soils. The garden is ready for planting and bears some things on its own, such as kale, borage, sunchokes, and chives.  Also on the property, you will find established fruit and nut trees and strawberries, blueberries, black raspberries, and red raspberries that bear tremendous fruit. Mature apple, plum, and pear trees. Gorgeous perennial flower and herb gardens surround the foundation. A wildflower meadow sweeps down to a future potential pond, and additional building site(s). A 3-acre meadow at the bottom of the driveway may be subdivided and, per town zoning, into 1/5 acre lots. All this and you can walk, bike, or ski to town! The house was a victim of a fire in the basement June 2024. Bring builders and bring dreams. Being sold "as is" post-fire
