Outside, the property offers more than just a yard—it’s a wonderful starter homestead. Perennial herbs, raspberry, blueberry, native black raspberry, and elderberry plantings complement two fenced garden areas with room for annual vegetables.

Modern updates include a standing seam metal roof with solar panels, heat pumps for efficient heating and cooling, a pellet stove, and fiber optic internet, making this home ideal for commuters, remote workers, or anyone seeking Vermont living without sacrificing connectivity. Life in Hancock means adventure in every season. Ski Middlebury Snow Bowl, Sugarbush, Mad River Glen, or Rikert Outdoor Center. Explore the nearby Long Trail, Velomont Trail, and Green Mountain National Forest, or paddle and fish the White River. Scenic Route 100 connects you to charming villages, mountain views, swimming holes, and endless opportunities to enjoy Vermont’s outdoors. Convenient to Middlebury, Randolph, Rochester, and the Mad River Valley, this affordable home is ready for its next chapter.
