I love this house and property! From the kitchen sink, the fireplace, the bathtub, the barn, the views, the solitude. This is a dreamhouse. Built in 1812! Located on 13.22 acres in Shaftsbury, Vermont. New roof, foundation, chimneys, electrical system, and furnace. Hardwood floors throughout, walkout basement and I love that vintage stove! One bedroom, one bathroom, and 924 square feet. $249,500

Along the eastern border is the Little White Creek, perfect for cooling off on hot summer days. Current owners purchased neighboring parcel (3.28 acres) so it is already subdivided and buildable, with separate driveway access and power… Or keep all 13.22 acres for yourself.
