About this land

Positioned perfectly for the upcoming hunting season or your future homestead, this exceptional 36.95+/- acre parcel in historic Brookfield offers an idyllic Vermont retreat. With a long, flat driveway easily accessible from town-maintained Cemetery Street, you could deliver a pre-made cabin straight to the elevated house site and be ready to hunt this year's deer season across nearly 40 acres of mature hardwoods and softwoods. For those dreaming of a self-sustaining lifestyle, the property is a homesteader's paradise. It features beautiful open land with even more pasture ready to be reclaimed on the left side, providing plenty of room for sprawling vegetable gardens and a small animal farm. The land boasts an ideal southeastern-facing slope offering excellent solar energy potential, though modern convenience are nearby with a utility pole and high-speed ECFiber internet located just south of the property. Septic testing indicates the potential for a four-bedroom mound system on a natural ""knob"" west of the clearing. Enrolled in the Vermont Current Use Program with 6.7+/- acres thoughtfully excluded for development, the property benefits from exceptionally low annual taxes of just $736 while retaining plenty of good timber. Located just minutes from the famous Floating Bridge and Allis State Park, yet offering immediate I-89 access for quick commutes to Barre and Montpelier's medical and shopping amenities, this versatile property is the ultimate setup for your rural ambitions.

    Questions to ask before you buy

    Good questions for any home near the slopes.

    1. How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
    2. Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
    3. Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
    4. Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
    5. What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
    6. For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
