Historic hillside farm situated along the North River valley just a few miles into VT from MA on 31 acres of land. Approx. 5 acres of open sloping pasture most recently used as a sheep farm. The house is circa 1860 and has good bones and updated systems including a new drilled well, on demand HW, propane backup generator and other modern improvements. The interior of the home is in need of restoration. The 24' X 24' 2.5 story post and beam barn is in good shape with a new metal roof and has an office area that was added that has heat and AC. The large old sugar house was converted to a barn for animals and is situated in the pasture. The open land is sloping and steep in spots but does have some tiered areas with plenty of space for large gardens near the house and main barn. There are mature apple trees and other fruit trees in the fully fenced pasture. The field is lined with huge old growth sugar maples and other hardwoods are remaining forested acres are wonderful and offer views of the valley as you walk along the upper fence line and into the woods. With the combination of open and wooded land, the setting, outbuildings, the quaint little 1860"s farmhouse and all the other attributes this farm property offers, it is a tremendous value in today's VT real estate market. Land is enrolled in UVA (Current Use) for reduced RE taxes. A short drive to pristine lakes and skiing at Mt Snow and the Green Mountain National Forest for your round recreation opportunities.
