About this home
Beautiful and unique 59.80 acre property in Southern Vermont. Are you looking for tranquility and privacy then you may have just found it in this Readsboro property. This 4 bedroom home (including loft) has 3 bathrooms and sits above a private spring fed pond that has abundant wildlife, like otters and herons. Bask in the natural sunlight and starlight that filters in from the numerous windows and skylights. Taste the native blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries and walk the maintained trails or the stone-lined labyrinth in the woods. Large boulders, old stone walls and the springhead to the pond can all be found while exploring this property that borders Massachusetts and is only 20 minutes from cultural destinations in the Berkshires, excellent white water rafting 2 miles away and nearby ski areas. The main home was built in 1961 with a large addition added in 2007. It has been a full-time, family residence for almost two decades. The main heat source is provided by an external Woodmaster furnace which also heats the hot tub near the back deck and the hot water for the house. For those looking for multiple heat sources the oil furnace can be turned on with the flick of a switch and there is a wood stove in the addition. Owned solar panels keep your electric costs to a minimum. There is a backup generator that automatically turns on if there is ever a need. The home is situated about 100 yards off of a quiet dirt road and next to a 260 acre land trust.

RUR
Rural Residential District
Rural residential lands are lands which are already committed to rural development or which appear capable of accommodating a significant proportion of the expected growth in Readsboro.; Some of these lands offer serious limitations for development and will require special attention in evaluating proposals for their development. The land may have an important natural resource value, may be located a significant distance from improved public land or from a village or commercial center, may be classified as vulnerable landscapes, or may border scenic roads. The purpose of the Rural Residential District is to provide for low-intensity uses which are compatible with the potential of the land for agriculture, forestry, or extraction of soil, sand or gravel. These uses shall protect the rural character, scenic and recreational resources, and significant natural, historic and other resources within the Town.
