About This Property

Looking for your own private haven? Welcome to this remarkable nearly 200-acre property at the very top of Vermont, offering breathtaking country views, exceptional privacy, and endless possibilities. Follow the private dead-end road to your own peaceful retreat, where the property's northern boundary borders Canada, creating a truly one-of-a-kind setting. The farmhouse is currently vacant and in need of substantial renovation. It could make an ideal caretaker's residence or guest home once restored. Please note: the home contains black mold and is being sold as-is, where-is. Richford's updated zoning now allows 1-acre lots for single-family homes, creating exciting potential for future development (subject to local and state approvals). Whether you envision a private estate, tiny home retreat with short-term rental income, commercial resort, family compound, or Planned Unit Development (PUD), the possibilities are extensive.  The impressive 5,548-square-foot barn, located across the road from the farmhouse, offers incredible versatility as a workshop, storage facility, recreation space, or potential guest accommodations.  Nature lovers will appreciate the expansive woodlands, featuring thousands of maple trees with potential for a sugaring operation. All of the land, except the farmhouse and approximately 2.5 acres, is enrolled in Vermont's Current Use Forestry Program, helping reduce taxes while preserving the property's natural beauty. Ideally located just 2 minutes from Richford Country Club, 20 minutes to Jay Peak Resort, 40 minutes to St. Albans, and just over one hour to Burlington, Newport, and Montreal. Richford also offers three U.S.-Canada border crossings, providing convenient access to southern Quebec's charming villages, restaurants, and shopping. The area is rich with parks, canoeing, hiking, biking, ATV, and snowmobile trails. Properties of this size, privacy, and potential are increasingly rare.
