Positioned perfectly for the upcoming hunting season or your future homestead, this exceptional 36.95+/- acre parcel in historic Brookfield offers an idyllic Vermont retreat. With a long, flat driveway easily accessible from town-maintained Cemetery Street, you could deliver a pre-made cabin straight to the elevated house site and be ready to hunt this year's deer season across nearly 40 acres of mature hardwoods and softwoods. For those dreaming of a self-sustaining lifestyle, the property is a homesteader's paradise. It features beautiful open land with even more pasture ready to be reclaimed on the left side, providing plenty of room for sprawling vegetable gardens and a small animal farm. The land boasts an ideal southeastern-facing slope offering excellent solar energy potential, though modern convenience are nearby with a utility pole and high-speed ECFiber internet located just south of the property. Septic testing indicates the potential for a four-bedroom mound system on a natural "knob" west of the clearing. Enrolled in the Vermont Current Use Program with 6.7+/- acres thoughtfully excluded for development, the property benefits from exceptionally low annual taxes of just $736 while retaining plenty of good timber. Located just minutes from the famous Floating Bridge and Allis State Park, yet offering immediate I-89 access for quick commutes to Barre and Montpelier's medical and shopping amenities, this versatile property is the ultimate setup for your rural ambitions.
