About this home
A truly delightful property with all the features outdoor lovers search for! River frontage, fruit trees, grassy lawn, a ready to go camper, fiber internet and NO town zoning. 6.5+/- acres with well over an acre of open grassy lawn that slopes gently down to the East Orange Branch River. Located in the tiny town of Orange VT. Great spot for a possible home, tiny house or Airbnb investment. A wonderful trail meanders through the woods, bringing you to a high rock outcrop with a park bench and views with a little updated clearing. The 2008 JayCo Camper is in good condition offering you immediate enjoyment of the property. Sit by the fire pit enjoying the well-manicured lawn or saunter down to the river for a sit in the cool water. Light a bonfire by the river. Store your mower and chairs in an included shed. Two very nice stone benches, one nestled under the trees for a quiet read or nap. There is an old spring well in the eastern corner of the property. Power is located on the property along with fiber internet; not hooked up the camper, but available. No septic system has been installed, seller used a Port-o-let and had it pumped monthly along with the camper. An old farmhouse stone foundation that burned down may be seen in aerials. Easy drive to the 26,000-acre Groton State Forest with its 8 lakes and ponds, trails, swimming holes and more. Major shopping and entertainment in the Barre/Montpelier area. Come Explore today.
