80 King Rd, West Glover, VT 05875

Vermont hilltop farms offer a unique link to the states heritage. North Country Farm sits above Lake Parker in the agriculturally based town of West Glover. There are long distant views to the east and abundant wildlife. The property has a year round stream with brook trout and a waterfall. Deer and turkey are seen about the farm on a regular basis along with the occasional bear, moose, and otter.  This farm property is currently producing certified organic hay for local dairies and horse owners. It was previously used to raise beefalo and spotted draft horses after a long history as a dairy farm. It is also used today as the home office of a software consulting firm with the high speed internet service and a large home office space.  The town of Barton is 10 minutes to the east. Newport and St Johnsbury are roughly 30 minutes each to the north and south. Jay Peak and Burke Mountain resorts are about an hour away. Lake Memphremagog, Lake Seymour, Crystal Lake and Lake Willoughby are all less than an hour from the farm. There is convenient access to VAST trail system. Situated on both side of a dirt road, there is easy access to the fields. There are approximately 72 acres in hay fields and another 16 acres currently used as pasture. The rest of the 188 +/- acres are forested but have been selectively logged. The lands are not in current use or the land trust. Fields on the south side of the road are adjacent to conserved agricultural property. With power available the entire length of the long road frontage it would be easily sub dividable. The farm house has been extensively renovated in the last several years from the foundation up. The kitchen has granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. The two chimneys have been lined; the roof, siding,windows, and all mechanical systems have all been upgraded. The backup generator is sufficient to run the entire farm for several days if there were a power outage. Shown by appointment only.  Farm equipment may be purchased separately.Additional property info: http://www.forsalebyowner.com/listing/3-bed-Farm-Land-for-sale-by-owner-80-King-Place/23866911?provider_id=28079
