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.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
