Welcome to one of the most enchanting properties in all of Vermont—49 acres of pure, iconic New England beauty, where rolling meadows, whispering pines, historic barnwood, and a spring-fed pond come together to create a setting so timeless and serene it feels like stepping straight into Bing Crosby’s White Christmas. This is more than land… it’s a full-blown Vermont experience.

At the heart of the property sits an antique 988 sq ft cabin and a massive 1,856 sq ft barn, both brimming with original New England character. They stand ready to be restored, reimagined into a homesite compound, or lovingly dismantled for a treasure trove of authentic Vermont barnwood—a rare material worth its weight in gold for builders and designers.

In the backyard, a one-acre spring-fed pond mirrors the surrounding mountains and sky, offering a magical place to fish, skate in winter, or simply breathe in the peaceful stillness. And on the west side of the pond lies one of the property’s greatest surprises—your own little mountain, complete with a cleared hiking trail leading to the summit. From the top, you’ll look out over your private kingdom like you’re standing inside your own national park.

With no zoning and no deed restrictions, this land gives you complete freedom to build, restore, or create whatever dream you’ve been carrying—be it a family estate, vacation retreat, cabin compound, or a homestead with space for gardens and animals. Power and a water well are already on-site, and access is simple thanks to a cleared driveway area, open front yard, and extensive public road frontage on both Cheney 4 Corner Road and Bowen Road.

Despite the feeling of total seclusion, adventure and convenience are close at hand. The beloved Northeast Slopes ski area, sparkling lakes, and miles of hiking trails are just 10–15 minutes away, and full services and shopping—including Walmart—are just 23 minutes east in Woodsville. Even Montpelier is less than an hour away.

This is a priced-to-sell, once-in-a-generation Vermont property—a place so idyllic, so rich in texture and scenery, that it simply doesn’t have a comparable. Whether you want to build a legacy estate, harvest rare barnwood, or simply escape into the landscapes New England is famous for, this land offers the perfect canvas.

Timeless. Iconic. Unrestricted. Your Vermont dream awaits.

MAKING AN OFFER

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For Sale By Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf. We do offer 2.5% commission to buyer agents.

HOW DO WE PRICE SO LOW?

WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).


DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable useage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
