Finding the Right Vermont Country Home

Country properties appeal to buyers for different reasons. Some are looking for a traditional farmhouse with original architectural details, while others prioritize usable land, mountain views, a barn or workshop, or a home surrounded by fields and forests.

A country home doesn't necessarily need extensive acreage. The layout of the land, neighboring properties, road access, and proximity to nearby towns can be just as important as the size of the parcel.

What to Consider When Buying a Country Property

Rural Vermont homes may involve property considerations that differ from those of homes in more developed neighborhoods.

• Land and acreage: Consider usable land, terrain, drainage, and any conservation easements or restrictions.

• Water and wastewater: Review private well and septic systems, including their condition, permits, and capacity.

• Road access: Understand whether the property is served by a public road, private road, or shared driveway, particularly during winter.

• Outbuildings: Evaluate the condition, permitted uses, and maintenance needs of barns, garages, and workshops.

• Property use: If you plan to keep animals, pursue hobby farming, or make improvements, investigate applicable zoning and land-use requirements.
