Saint George Home for Sale

Saint George, "Vermont’s Smallest Town," covers less than 4 square miles along Vermont Route 2A in Williston, maintaining a population under 1,000 since the 1790s. The area features a mix of manufactured homes and farms, with small businesses run by locals. The VermontWare building, constructed in the 1990s, is a central feature, enhancing the town’s infrastructure. Residents enjoy a rural lifestyle, with spacious lots and homes ranging from New England farmhouses to vinyl-sided split-levels. The Saint George Mobile Home Park is a resident-owned cooperative, preserving affordable housing. Students attend highly rated schools in the Champlain Valley School District, including Williston Central School and Champlain Valley Union High School. Outdoor activities are plentiful, with Lake Iroquois and the Rocky Ridge Golf Club nearby. The town’s membership with the Lake Iroquois Recreation District provides access to the lake’s beach, park, playground, and trails. Sucker Brook Hollow Trail offers hiking, and the golf club provides golfing, sledding, and skiing. Saint George hosts community events like Dragon Day and maintains an active social media presence for updates. While lacking large businesses and restaurants, nearby Williston and Hinesburg offer dining and shopping. The town has one of the lowest municipal tax rates in the county and a close-knit farming culture. Practical considerations include checking for cellphone coverage and internet options, as well as dealing with seasonal dirt road conditions. Despite these challenges, the town’s low crime risk and proximity to Burlington, 11 miles north, make it appealing for those seeking a rural lifestyle with urban access.
