Here’s a rare opportunity to own 1,405 contiguous acres of pristine VT wilderness! This exceptional property provides unmatched privacy, stunning views, and endless outdoor recreation. The land includes a beautifully renovated off-grid chalet with solar power, battery backup, and an auto-fired generator. The main floor features a bedroom, bath, and open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area with cathedral ceilings, a woodstove, and oversized windows with direct mountain views. Beyond the French doors is a large deck, ideal for soaking in the natural splendor. Upstairs is a loft, plus there’s a full unfinished walk-out basement with lots of potential. Right outside the door you’ll discover miles of trails, a stocked trout pond, & direct access to thousands of acres of conserved land, where you can enjoy Nordic & backcountry skiing, ATVing, snowshoeing, hiking, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing & more. The chalet sits on with 976 acres most of which is protected by a land trust easement & two additional tracts (274 and 155 acres) to the west. The western parcels generate income through a leased 7,000+/- tap sugaring operation ($25K/year). Additional income is generated from enrollment in the Cold Hollow Carbon credit program. Most of the property is enrolled in the VT Current Use program which keeps the taxes affordable. With over 2 miles of Canadian border frontage, breathtaking sunset views & unparalleled tranquility, this is the ultimate Vermont retreat.
