Recreational & Residential Land for Sale in Brookfield, Vermont

Discover your own Vermont sanctuary with this pleasant, wooded 31.80+/- acre residential lot located in the quaint, historic town of Brookfield, Vermont, famous for its iconic floating bridge. Situated just 15 miles south of the Barre/Montpelier capital and business area, this property perfectly balances peaceful privacy with convenient access. The parcel sits on Ralph Road, a gravel town-maintained road that is plowed year-round, ensuring reliable entry in every season. An old driveway is already in place, leading directly to a parking clearing and an old home site positioned about 250 feet back from the road to offer a wonderfully secluded and quiet setting. For outdoor enthusiasts, a nice old private woods road follows the inner boundary diagonally through the lot, providing an ideal path for hiking, hunting, or a pleasant afternoon walk. Nature lovers will also be captivated by the west side of the property, where far below the homesite in elevation, a stunning wetland features a large open-water beaver pond-a beautiful, serene spot to bird watch and enjoy Vermont's spectacular fall colors. Infrastructure potential is a major highlight, featuring an existing power pedestal by the old home with what appears to be underground power lines, as well as a located drilled well head believed (but not verified) to be 205 feet deep with 8 GPM from a 2000 installation. While two partial surveys are included, there is an old collapsed home and a camper on-site that the seller will not remove, which has been factored into the attractive list price. Records exist for a 3-bedroom septic system from 2000; however, because the site has been abandoned for 5+ years, the property is being sold with no assumed existing septic capacity, and a new state permit and design review will be required. Whether you dream of building a primary residence, a camp, or establishing a recreational getaway for hiking and hunting, this expansive parcel is a rare find ready for your vision.
