Homes with 10 Acres for Sale in Orleans County, VT

Find Orleans County, VT Homes with 10 Acres for Sale

Ten acres is the threshold where a Vermont property starts to work as land rather than a lot. It is enough for pasture, a sugarbush, a woodlot managed under Vermont's Use Value Appraisal program, or simply enough distance from the road that nothing is visible from the house. Orleans County has this in quantity because the dairy economy left behind farms that have since been divided, particularly through Irasburg, Coventry, Albany, Craftsbury and Troy. CENTURY 21 Farm & Forest handles land and acreage across the Kingdom. Compare the southern county on the Caledonia County page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Use Value Appraisal?

Vermont's current use program, which taxes enrolled farm and forest land at its use value rather than development value. Enrollment can carry forward, and withdrawal can trigger a penalty.

What should be verified on an acreage property?

Town zoning, state wastewater and potable water permits, deeded access and road maintenance, boundary survey status, any timber or mineral rights conveyed, and current use enrollment.

Which Orleans County towns have the most acreage?

Irasburg, Coventry, Albany, Craftsbury, Troy and Lowell carry the largest supply, much of it former dairy land now in a mix of field and forest.
