The home
About this home
4 acre lot with a 24x40 house/garage on a concrete slab. This home is off grid living with a mix of modern conveniences. This home has a drilled well, greywater storage tank and composting toilet. The lower level has an open floor plan with a living kitchen bath. The upper level has a single bedroom. The home has a domestic solar system that charges the battery packs and 2 back up generators are included in the sale. The lot has a year around running spring that feeds a pond. The property has an approved state wastewater permit for a 3 BR house but the mound system has not been built. The grey water holding tank has been installed and is operating. The lot offers great country views of a wooded ridge line and open meadows. This property is on a low traffic street and is a 20 minute drive to St. Albans and 50 minutes drive to Burlington. Occupy this home or build another and use this as a workshop/garage. This could also be great for a seasonal camper lot to land at for the summers and use the well solar grey water holding tank and garage.
