44 Red Pine Dr Peru, VT 05152

This large, secluded property is the ideal spot for anyone interested in homesteading and making their home on the land or their living from the land. Situated on 34+/- acres and surrounded on two sides by the Green Mountain National Forest, the property is truly “end of the road” and includes a healthy woodlot, open land with great drainage and all-day sun for gardening, large wood pole barn for storage and working (or animals), a deep swimming pond and an active wetland that brings a multitude of wildlife (and birds) to share your home. The house is rustic but has been a fulltime, year-round home for these owners since 1975. An addition in 1987 made room for their growing family and they raised their three children to love and appreciate the land. The house is currently "off-the-grid" and heated with two enormous wood stoves and there is propane and a generator for power (lights and appliances), but after enjoying their off-the-grid lifestyle for 40 year, the big news is that electric power is anticipated in the Fall of 2017. 28+ acres of the property is in Vermont’s managed land use program and the property enjoys a significant tax savings in exchange for good land stewardship.
