Are you looking for a country cottage, off the beaten path but not too far off? A place with tons of potential but needing some TLC to bring it back to full glory? Then this property, located near the top of Putney Mountain, may be just the ticket. As the story goes, the original shepherd’s cabin on top of Putney Mountain was moved to this site back in the 60s and the rest of the home was added on in the 70s. Since then it has been enjoyed as a full-time residence. The kitchen area, the original shepherd’s cabin, is big enough to accommodate a kitchen/dining arrangement. Just down the hall in the addition is a full bath including washer/dryer hookups, and just beyond is the bright and comfortable living room with hardwood flooring, wrap-around windows, and a door leading to a large deck. Conveniently off the living room is a small den. Upstairs, the bedroom is big and bright as well, and there’s a roll-out ladder leading to a loft. Outside you’ll find a 2-story outbuilding with multiple possible uses, plus a chicken coop and woodshed. Just up the road there are miles of trails for hiking and biking. Bring your imagination to this country gem in the making and have your Vermont dreams come true.
Take a trip back in time when it was easy to build your own home, create a light filled environment, and just sit on the deck with something to sip! Recapture the little bit of country living you are looking for by finishing the project started by someone with a dream! There is a huge kitchen with beautiful island counter top, 2 modest bedrooms, a huge living room with a cathedral ceiling for good measure and a full bath/laundry. Bring your tools, friends and rebuild from the shell...rework the piers...recapture the extensive gardens....live in peace at the end of the road, with neighbors close enough to help, but just far enough to enjoy. This property will not meet VA or other government programs unless a rehab loan. Please be prequalified for a project property before requesting a showing.
