About this home

Very private country location, but only 10 minutes to town. Solid wall, square cut, log home at the end of a country road high on a hill. Spectacular Winter views of New Hampshire. Totally private in Summer. Great southern exposure. Open floor plan, country kitchen with sun filled skylights. Oak, ash and cherry wood floors. A wood stove sits on a beautiful piece of unusual Brazilian marble. A large rec-room in the basement adds extra useful space, could be used as a home office. A very convenient room specifically for wood storage is right off the Living room. A first floor master suite has a marble tiled bath, with radiant floor heating, and double closets. The roof was completely refurbished last year. A 42'x28' garage/barn with space for three vehicles and a great open space upstairs for a studio, workshop or storage. This is a move in ready property.

Rural District

The Rural District encompasses land primarily in the western, upland portion of Brattleboro, which features large tracts of undeveloped woodlands, working farmland and very-low density residential development. This land is not served by municipal water and sewer or by roads that are capable of accommodating heavy traffic, and extending or upgrading infrastructure in this district is strongly discouraged. The purpose of this district is to protect these remote and relatively inaccessible rural lands from fragmentation, development and undue environmental disturbance by maintaining a very low-density settlement pattern and large tracts of working lands or natural areas in accordance with the policies of the Brattleboro Town Plan.

Permitted uses
