About this home
Step into the "Wilderness, " a welcoming, nature-filled collection of homes set into the verdant hills of the Hinesburg-Shelburne border just minutes from Burlington International Airport and UVM Medical. Situated at the end of a private drive amidst manicured gardens, natural bird habitat and towering black locust and maple trees, this 5-bedroom house plus in-law suite and "writer's cabin" on over 13 acres is all anyone could ever want for a Vermont dream property. Miles of community trails and country gravel roads are literally at your front doorstep. Incredibly private and yet very convenient to all that Burlington, Shelburne, and the budding community of Hinesburg have to offer (CVU school district). The house comes with a bonus 4-acre parcel that could be used for a horse barn, crops, or possible subdivision. This stunning property must be seen in person, but please, no drive-bys. Strictly by appointment only.

Nature’s beauty and birdsong await you at this well-maintained 4BR/3BA home with an attached studio apartment and separate rustic cottage, all privately located on 13+ acres at the end of a gravel road on the Shelburne/Hinesburg border. Bright, open floor plan with dining, kitchen, and living room that lead out to a sunporch with pastoral views. A sunny second family room makes a fabulous playroom or home office. A large first-floor primary bedroom with plenty of closet space has an attached sitting space that leads out to a new cedar deck. The lower level includes three additional bedrooms each with large windows, ample closets, and new vinyl flooring. The basement also includes a bonus/fitness room, laundry area, and three large storage rooms. An attached 400-sf studio apartment is accessed via its own 3-season porch and includes a full galley kitchen, 3/4 bath, and laundry room. Over the years, this unit has served as a sweet little home for an in-law, an au-pair, and a carefree rental unit. This property has a detached garage with a carport, shed, and an adorable retreat/guest cottage with a sleeping loft and wood stove for heat. A short distance across a meadow, the cottage is not visible from the main house and has electricity but no plumbing. These 13+ tranquil acres are an even mix of open meadow and forest, with a seasonal stream, prime agricultural soils, and interesting rock formations. A beautiful country setting in Hinesburg with a short commute to Burlington.

Agricultural District
To promote sustainable agricultural uses on land so suited, and other green/open space uses on lands less suitable for agriculture. Farms and interspersed woodlands dominate this district, and help define a critical aspect of Hinesburg’s rural character. The working landscape and natural ecosystems shall continue to be the focus of this district. Innovative land uses listed below that serve to perpetuate the form and function of this working landscape are anticipated and encouraged. Development densities will remain low relative to the rest of the town. The pattern and density of residential development varies across this district; however, the overall district is characterized by the lowest residential development density in Hinesburg. Low density, rural development shall be allowed primarily on land less suitable for green space and agricultural uses. Innovative residential development designs (e.g., clustering, smart siting of homes near/around compatible site features, variable lot sizes, etc.) are encouraged to reduce impact on important natural resources, as long as overall density remains low. Patterns of development shall serve to conserve important agricultural and other natural and cultural resource lands. Conflicts between development and these resource areas shall be minimized to retain the primary focus and function of this district. Rural area design standards in section 5.24 apply to uses that require site plan approval in this district. Rural area design standards also apply to subdivisions in this district (see Subdivision Regulations).
