714 Shippee Rd Readsboro, VT 05350

Beautiful and unique 59.80 acre property in Southern Vermont. Are you looking for tranquility and privacy then you may have just found it in this Readsboro property. This 4 bedroom home (including loft) has 3 bathrooms and sits above a private spring fed pond that has abundant wildlife, like otters and herons. Bask in the natural sunlight and starlight that filters in from the numerous windows and skylights. Taste the native blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries and walk the maintained trails or the stone-lined labyrinth in the woods. Large boulders, old stone walls and the springhead to the pond can all be found while exploring this property that borders Massachusetts and is only 20 minutes from cultural destinations in the Berkshires, excellent white water rafting 2 miles away and nearby ski areas. The main home was built in 1961 with a large addition added in 2007. It has been a full-time, family residence for almost two decades. The main heat source is provided by an external Woodmaster furnace which also heats the hot tub near the back deck and the hot water for the house. For those looking for multiple heat sources the oil furnace can be turned on with the flick of a switch and there is a wood stove in the addition. Owned solar panels keep your electric costs to a minimum. There is a backup generator that automatically turns on if there is ever a need. The home is situated about 100 yards off of a quiet dirt road and next to a 260 acre land trust.
