for $350,000 with 3 bedrooms and 1 full bath. This 1,530 square foot home was built in 1860 on a lot size of 44.5.
Set on two parcels totaling approximately 44+ acres, 1779 VT Route 78 offers a unique combination of country living, recreation, and future possibilities. The property includes a 36+ acre parcel improved with a 3-bedroom farmhouse, along with a separately deeded 8+ acre parcel. The farmhouse features a fully enclosed front porch, a spacious kitchen and dining area with wood floors, and the convenience of a first-floor bedroom. An attached garage offers additional utility with upstairs storage. The larger parcel, identified as Parcel 1, Lot 2, benefits from a deeded right-of-way over Lot 1 to access the rear portion of the acreage. Adding to the property's potential, a State Wastewater Permit, WW-6-1562, was previously obtained in connection with a proposed 9-lot subdivision, providing an interesting starting point for buyers wishing to explore future development possibilities, subject to all applicable permits and approvals. Both parcels abut the Missisquoi Valley Rail Trail, offering convenient access for biking, walking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and other four-season recreation. Whether envisioned as a Vermont homestead with substantial acreage, an investment opportunity, or a property offering longer-term development potential, this is a distinctive offering for those seeking land, recreation, and possibilities in one setting.
