Improved Recreational Land for Sale in Westminster, Vermont

This timber frame cabin and field home site on 83.5 acres of meadow and forest land in Westminster West, Vermont is a peaceful location for weekends, summer residency, or possible year round living. The two-acre field site for a home is north-facing, with no roads or buildings in view, and with a fine view of Mt. Ascutney. A gravel, grassy driveway leads to the top of the field, the potential future house site with a drilled well and a state permitted septic system design. A woodland trail, through a hemlock forest, leads to a stream, and acres of forest to explore. The 16-by-20 foot, one-room cabin sits high on locust posts, is off the grid, has solar panels for electric lights and a fiber optic land line, and has propane service for a stove, lamps, and a refrigerator. A deck made of silver cedar surrounds the cabin on three sides, and seven large insulated windows provide unobstructed views to the forest crown and distant hills. A sleeping loft for a double bed and custom-made, built-in bureaus provide a cozy atmosphere for sleeping. Skylights offer extra light on dark days. A screen house, plus utility and woodsheds round out the cabin area. Heat is provided by a small Jotul wood stove and ample firewood that can be cut on the land. This is truly a "Happy Place".
