Glorious Vermont! Leave the frantic pace of the cities behind, leave behind the hectic pace of life, turn up the narrow town road that follows a fast flowing brook, cross over the brook and up another small side road serving just a few homes and arriving at the end is a panoramic view that unfolds before your eyes. You will delight at the expanse of open fields spreading out before you. Take the gravel road past the old farmhouse and barn right to the high point of the land and then stop, take a deep breath and soak in the absolutely stunning views to south, west and north, to mountains, valleys, forests and fields. The western views will delight with sunsets all year long or the arriving dramatic storms that occasionally roll through. Here you could build your dream home whether at the high point or lower on the land. It will be hard to decide. The land is almost all open former farm fields which would welcome horses, sheep, goats, Alpaca, gardens, small scale farming or just family, friends, pets and your own passions. The old farmhouse is a tear down, the barn a useful building. If you've been seeking a significant acreage in VT but not far from culture, colleges, theater, music, art, restaurants, then this is perfect being just 15 minutes from Williamstown, MA and Bennington, VT. Just 3 hours to NYC or Boston and an hour to superb VT ski areas. Hiking is everywhere, lakes not far, but once here, you may never want to leave. This is an extraordinary opportunity
