Nestled in the heart of Barnet VT, this stunning property presents a unique opportunity for comfortable & sustainable living. The 2005 home offers a spacious 2-car heated garage, with finished space above, perfect for a home office or in-law apartment. The mudroom adjacent to the garage provides a practical space to shed muddy boots and outerwear before entering the home, keeping the interiors pristine and organized. Step inside to discover a chef's delight - a large kitchen, with two expansive islands, thoughtfully designed for gatherings and culinary creativity. The heating system is a Buderus Boiler with TWO forms of back up heat: an outdoor wood boiler & a complete generator back up system. Outside offers a private world in itself, perfect for homesteading, or self-employment right from your own property. The nearby chicken coop once housed 18 chickens. Also on the property is a garden shed, greenhouse, ideal soils for excellent gardening, and enough trees to last for years of firewood. Further from the house is a full shop with office space, a pond, trails for snowshoeing/x-country skiing, a "cedar woods", about 300 taps (lines are all in), a fully operable sugar house, and direct access to your own swimming/fishing area. This exclusive property was built with durability & quality as the top priorities. A 1-3 year lease is in place to rent the commercial shop at $1,200/mo, offering a buyer instant income!
