Renovated country farmhouse with epic valley views and 19 homesteading acres! This 3 bedroom, rural farmhouse is Vermont living to the core. And, fully on the Lamoille Valley Rail Trail. Fully renovated in early 2000's; roof, windows, insulation, doors, mudroom, deck, siding. Bathrooms and kitchen updates are 2024-2025. Enter from the covered porch or mudroom to the open concept main floor. The kitchen eases to the dining area, which wraps to the living room and back to kitchen and the newly renovated half-bath/laundry. Kitchen, deck and pool face 19 +/- rolling meadows for daily deer and turkey watching. Upstairs are three lovely bedrooms, all with closets, and a full, newly renovated bath with closet. Vintage features and charm are...everywhere. A modern poured concrete foundation basement with high ceilings keeps your gear well lit, sorted and dry. A beast of a basement woodstove cranks out heat in the winter to supplement propane wall unit in living room. The upper high meadows are rolling, suitable for grazing critters. The northern end is more wooded, and a lowland area is fed by a stream: beavers have recently declared ownership and created a pond along the Rail Trail line. Black Creek, that feeds into Lake Champlain, is downhill 100' away. The wooded areas are lovely and rugged; good for foraging, hiking and losing track of an afternoon. 20 minutes to St. Albans. NO CUSFSH.
