This is a rare opportunity. 56+ acres of beautiful land. Unrestricted parcel will allow you to pursue your interests…a single home with total privacy, a family compound with two or three homes, or there is even development potential. There is wooded land and open meadows suitable for animals or agriculture. The signs of life are everywhere…deer, turkeys, game birds. A perfect parcel for a trail network for hiking and snowshoeing. Ancient stone walls. Currently there is a driveway to an old homesite (early farmhouse still stands). The house site is set well back for privacy…no other houses in sight. The well is in. There are local views, and potential for long distant ones from this site. In other spots, the views are already there. If you wish, the property could be entered into Vermont’s Use Value Program (also known as Current Use) for tax savings in exchange for you following a forest management plan. Wallingford, enjoys easy proximity to Rutland, but has a world of its own. 3 miles to Elfin Lake and it is a quick hop over to White Rocks, part of the National Forest, or hike a section of the Appalachian Trail. The outdoor opportunities don’t stop there. Skiing, golf, fishing, snowmobiling and more are all done very close by. Be sure to view the aerial photo and survey map to complete the picture.

Take one look at the aerial map, and you will realize that this is a special property. Wonderfully private setting surrounded by properties on large parcels. Antique farmhouse worthy of your efforts. Yes, significant work is needed, but that shouldn't scare you off if you are looking for a country home with privacy. There are financing programs out there that can make this purchase work, or a cash sale will be required. Conventional mortgage programs will not work with the house in its current condition. The house has many neat features; built-ins, pantry, 2 fireplaces, wide board floors and more. There are three bedrooms on the second floor, and two small first floor rooms could be sleeping areas or a super office and laundry room instead. There are old plantings and open fields which can still be reclaimed. Wooded land and views, too, all with privacy. This is a perfect candidate for the Current Use program. There is a small, old orchard. It will take some work, a vision and some resources, but this property will also be a special country home for the generations that follow. The manager has listed the unit size as 2337 square feet.
