High atop Jerusalem Hill, just south of the quintessential Vermont town of Rochester you will find a homestead that simply must be experienced in person - the photos will do no justice to the subject. The property is incredibly versatile, having multiple potential build sites, all with the ability to remain private from one another. There is a large, open meadow that the residence currently occupies, as well as plenty of healthy, forested land with interesting topography, babbling brooks, ponds and varied perspectives. The sellers are offering to sell the entire ~44.5 acres, or if preferred, a smaller parcel with 8 private acres separated off to the north (See MLS #5042045). This off grid, post and beam classic sits facing epic views of the Green Mountain National Forest and is accompanied by a generator/storage building, horse stable, and a sizable timber frame barn for your tractor and implements. Last, but not least - an adorable log cabin occupies a promontory in the forest between two babbling brooks. Perfect for a staycation or visitors. Town maintained road and fiber optic available right at the end of the driveway! Leave plenty of time and wear sensible shoes to walk the woods roads to get a good sense of the land. Roughly equidistant to Killington and Sugarbush and within reach of Okemo ski resorts. Unparalleled outdoor recreation opportunities right out the front door. See Ridgeline Outdoor Collective's website to learn more.
