Welcome to Country Club Road. A private road very close to the Canadian Border. An 1872 square foot Foundation is in place. At the ground level it is approximately 9 feet high. The basement would be a walk out basement when completed. Recent septic site work will allow a fully complying 2 bedroom "Bottomless sand Filtration system" when the new septic rules are published . The well is good clean sweet water, not hard or sulfur as is common in the area. Instant equity at this price as it is assessed for $76,000. Build your dream home here with lake access on a private road with a nice big lot surrounded by a thick White Cedar Forest in the rear. Missisquoi Bay is Lake Champlain's largest single bay, and the Missisquoi River delta is across the bay. Some of the finest fishing all year can be found here. Many first place Largemouth Bass that won the LCI Derby were caught at that Delta. Muskies have been restocked, Walleyes spawn here; and awesome fishing for pan fish by the buckets are caught here. It is a destination in the winter for ice fisherman. This place could make an excellent second home with great rental potential especially in the winter. Or a primary residence in a nice quiet location near Canada! Here is an excellent opportunity to have a recreation home with lake access for an inexpensive price. It is worth noting there are a lot of deer which cross through the lot which is 1 minute from the border. A very large racked mature White Tailed Buck uses this property!!!
