Search Chittenden County, VT Ranch-Style Homes for Sale

The ranch arrived in Chittenden County with the postwar suburban build-out, and the county still has a large stock of them across Colchester, Essex, South Burlington, Winooski and the outlying towns. A single level with a full basement underneath suits this climate well, keeping the utilities and the winter storage below grade and the living space on one floor. Newer one-floor plans continue the form. The Brian Boardman Group works these neighborhoods. Compare the split-level form on raised ranch homes.

Colchester, Essex, South Burlington and Winooski carry the largest shares, along with Milton and the other towns that grew through the postwar decades.

Most have a full basement, which is standard Vermont construction for frost protection and utilities. Garage configuration varies and is listed on each individual property page.
