This expansive 31.5-acre property in Orleans County, Vermont, offers a serene and quiet setting set apart from the main part of Lowell. Surrounded by scenic mountains and hillsides, the land lies on a flatter spot and is bordered by West and South neighboring properties. A significant portion of the southern section features wetlands, attracting local deer, small critters, moose, and bears to the region. Overhead power lines run directly through the acreage, and power is readily available at the road for convenient utility connection.
Access is provided by road frontage along two sides, specifically Cheney Road and Guyette Road. However, please note that this access is not insurable due to a mandatory 250-foot wetland buffer required for any building area. This buffer prevents any meaningful driveway or home site from being developed on the land. Because of these wetlands and the specific property dimensions, there is no suitable homesite for a residential dwelling.
Per the township, the property is zoned as Rural Residential / Agricultural, with single-family, multi-family, agriculture, and forestry uses allowed. Because of the building restrictions, this land is best suited solely for recreation, camping, hunting, agriculture, or forestry. Camping in a travel trailer is permitted on the property, provided you obtain an approved permit from the township. To fully utilize the tract, a well and a septic system would be needed, as these utilities are not currently established on-site.
There is no active survey and no soil test available for this land, so buyers must conduct their own due diligence. This quiet retreat is set in a peaceful area, yet it remains accessible to nearby natural attractions and cities. You can reach the town of Lowell in just a ten-minute drive, while the major city of Burlington is approximately 90 minutes away. For outdoor recreation, both Long Trail State Forest and Jay State Forest are located just a 30-minute drive from the parcel.
This unique real estate opportunity will be conducted as an assignment sale only, due to specific state tax laws regarding selling property within one year. There is no owner financing available for this transaction, meaning buyers must be prepared for an assignment contract sale. This is an exceptional chance to own a large acreage of Vermont land dedicated entirely to recreational pursuits, hunting, or agricultural and forestry projects.
