Imagine ending each day beneath a sky filled with stars instead of streetlights. Offering the perfect balance of privacy and convenience, this surveyed wooded parcel is tucked just outside town, providing peaceful seclusion while remaining only minutes from local amenities. Enrolled in Vermont's Current Use Program, the property benefits from reduced taxes while being professionally managed for long-term forest health, sustainable timber production, and well-maintained woods roads and trails. The next timber harvest should yield significant income. Much of the costly infrastructure is already in place. A driveway leads to a cleared homesite with mountain views, where power has been installed, a drilled well is in place, and an engineered septic design has been completed. A temporary holding tank currently serves the site, with the designed septic system to be installed before construction of a permanent home. Included with the property are a 20' x 8' steel Conex storage container and a meticulously maintained 2005 Cedar Creek 37' fifth wheel with four slide-outs, A/C, built-in central vacuum, and an attached deck. A fire pit with seating is just steps away, creating the perfect place to enjoy Vermont's spectacular night sky. Trails wind through hidden ravines, year-round brooks, and abundant wildlife habitat. Also included is a Caterpillar 304.5 track hoe with a toothed bucket, grading bucket, and hydraulic thumb to help maintain the property and assist with future projects. Subdivision may be possible with a 10-acre minimum lot size. Large, well-improved parcels of this quality rarely become available, especially in a town offering Vermont's highly sought-after school choice program, allowing students to attend the internationally recognized St. Johnsbury Academy. Whether you're seeking a private estate, recreational retreat, family compound, or investment, this is a rare opportunity to own an exceptional piece of Vermont.
