Come explore your off-the-beaten-path Vermont get-a-way with 15.3 +/- acres in the beautiful town of Strafford, VT! The property features an existing curbcut driveway access, 1.5 +/- acres of open field, and a brook with quaint waterfalls running through the property between the two open fields - just imagine the trickling water sound from your future deck! The likely house spot is setback and raised from the road. Utilities, including power and high-speed internet, are already located on the property with a utility pole set among the larger of the two open fields. Soil tests were completed in 2008 and indicate the likelihood that the property could support a 4-bedroom mound septic system on-site. Purchasers to do own due diligence. The rear acreage slopes up and features a nice mature hardwood forest primarily of maple. The property has been surveyed and the front pins located. The property is located in the Rural Residential zoning district where single family homes are the norm. The town of Strafford is a Vermont gem, with just over 1000 residents, classic New England architecture, a general store and the Newton Elementary School PK, K - 8. The property is only about 8 miles off I-89 on excellent country roads and offers easy access to NH's Dartmouth area to the south or VT's Randolph or Montpelier areas to the north. Just 30 minutes to White River Junction. Your piece of Vermont awaits!

A "woods' house" high in the hills of Lyme, surrounded by trees and meadow, in the area known as "Hardscrabble", this custom-built post and beam structure (Outback Post and Beam) would be a great home for a small family, artist, writer, or anyone seeking a beautiful, peaceful spot surrounded by nature. Trout Brook runs across the land, and there are views East and West of surrounding hills. The interior is open, with a tall window-wall facing the woods, much custom carpentry, and offers a relaxed lifestyle. Some finish work remains to be done. Property also includes a detached studio/guest cabin, small 1-car garage/barn, work shed, concrete slab intended for a shop-barn which was never built (24'x50' + 20'x20'), porch, patio and deck. A 3rd floor loft area could be used for sleeping quarters or quiet spot. Water currently supplied by long-serving dug well, but a drilled well is available. This property is a gem, and, needs to be seen to be appreciated. NOTES: 1. This property has been enrolled in Current Use, but the recently completed survey shows less acreage than necessary to be eligible for CU, so that status will need to be addressed. 2. The property is accessed by an "old road", which also provides a non-exclusive ROW access (the only) to the property behind. It is not clear from deeds seen what the ownership of the "old road" is--further research would be needed.
