Welcome to your country paradise just 15 minutes from Wegman's in Short Pump. You truly can have it all! This amazing home is located on 2.6 tranquil acres in Montpelier and between the last two owners everything has been done for you! The interior has been renovated and the exterior is ready to enjoy with a fully fenced in rear area which includes a paver patio and two outbuildings. Entering the property, you turn onto the long, double-width, paved driveway large enough to store your RV or boat. As you enter the home you are greeted with the warmth of the hardwood floors throughout the main level and open view of the chef's kitchen with not one, but two beverage fridges. New Spanish tile backsplash brightens the space. The main level primary suite has a full bathroom and loads of storage. The vanity was hand built by a local craftsman from local wood. On the second level there is newer carpet and a den space between the two bedrooms as well as a shared full bathroom. The basement is where you will spend a ton of time entertaining. There is a guest room, full bathroom, office area, laundry, and huge game room with a wood-burning fireplace. This room leads to the patio and the expansive backyard where you can play all of your yard games. The fireplace has a handmade mantle crafted right here in Montpelier! Outside is a koi pond & a deck with an oversized awning by Capital Awnings. The detached sheds are more than just sheds. One has the coolest chicken coop ever, you'll have to see it to believe it. The shed itself has its own electric meter that can run welders and a new roof. If wood-working is more your thing, you will love the other shed which is a wood-workers dream. This out-building is heated, cooled and insulated. The house is fully efficient should the power go out with three propane tanks and a generator hook-up around back. Internet is super easy with Starlink.

Agricultural District
The purpose of this district is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural land, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectionable, hazardous, and unsightly uses. The district is also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas, and scenic values, and at the same time to provide for spacious residential development for those who choose this environment and to prevent untimely scattering of more dense urban uses which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public service.
