Got chickens? You and your chickens will thrive on this country property that is ideally suited to be a mini homestead. Apple trees, blueberry bushes, and a nice sunny spot prepped for a vegetable garden mean you could be harvesting fresh fruit and vegetables from your land this summer and fall. The .69-acre lot is surrounded by open fields and provides views of the surrounding hills. The current owners have maintained and kept the 1852 farmhouse in great condition for the past 47 years, including replacing the roof and installing vinyl replacement windows. Over the years the kitchen was updated to include lots of cabinets, low-maintenance vinyl flooring, and a stainless gas stove and dishwasher. From here glance into the dining room and imagine everyone gathered at the table for holiday meals. Off the dining room is the laundry/office and the living room. Also on this floor is a comfortable 3-season porch, full bath, and–a must-have for any home in Vermont–the mudroom, which leads out the back door to the 9x10' covered deck. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms, as well as access to the attic, offering storage and the potential to add more living space or another bath. There's a 25x30' detached 2-car garage with a lean-to and a 12x16' storage shed to hold your gardening tools and supplies. The house is 5 minutes from the Irasburg Green and Ray's Market, 11 miles from downtown Newport, and it's a 24-mile drive to Jay Peak. VAST trail access is nearby.
