585 Spooner Rd Fairfax, VT 05454

Imagine your dream home combined with an ideal recreational 62 +/- acre parcel in the gorgeous town of Fairfax, VT. Once supporting beans & sheep, this old farmland has been carefully maintained by the same family since the 1960s with historical roots back to the 1750s. Today, the property features income-producing sugar maple trees with 1000+ taps that span 6.4 acres. With 2-acre zoning on about half of the property, there may be development potential, if appropriate septic is identified per state regs. Beautiful, thriving wetland areas cover approx. 5-acres of the property & offer great enjoyment of the outdoors with wildlife making regular appearances; a good match for water fowlers or birdwatchers. The property is enrolled in the State’s tax reduction program, Current Use, with a future potential 2-acre homestead site already conveniently withheld from the program. If a purchaser wishes to alter the location of the 2-acre homestead exclusion, this is possible by working with a forester. In accordance with the forestry plan, a cut is available & is estimated to be $5-10K in value. Power is available along Spooner Road with utility pole #65 78 located near the parcel boundary. Spooner Road is a shared, privately maintained road; to our knowledge, no maintenance agreement exists. Located within a larger recreational area, the western boundary of the property is adjacent to public land, offering spectacular views of the nearby Silver Lake!
