Why This Lot is Awesome

This lot is awesome because it has been owned by the same family since 1964! The lot is located on a picture perfect mountain, with views of a monastery on the opposite mountain. This year round gem is perfect for summer hikes and winter skiing, and is located close to the Norman Rockwell Museum and Battenkill River. Great opportunity to create your own legacy on this treasured mountainside retreat.

This is How We Would Build on This Lot

The project would be ideal for someone looking to develop multiple dwellings. There is ample space here to accommodate a main house, guest house and or an ADU. If need be there is enough road frontage for subdividing this lot. This more rugged and remote location is best suited for an off-grid project although traditional utilities could be an option depending on the overall budget. This project would require the full treatment of groundwork including a driveway installed, utilities secured and ground clearing to make way for construction.
