Land with Home for Sale in Swanton, Vermont
1984 Sheldon Rd, Swanton, VT 05478
MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT / RARE OPPORTUNITY-NOW $625,000. Featuring more than $400,000 in outdoor improvements alone and a surprisingly expansive interior offering flexibility for multigenerational living, home offices, guests, hobbies, recreation and more, this is one of Franklin County's most distinctive properties. Set on 3 acres with subdivision potential, this fully updated 4-bedroom, 3 bath home offers a unique combination of lifestyle, versatility, and future opportunity that is increasingly difficult to find at this price point. While the impressive outdoor spaces immediately capture attention, the interior is equally remarkable. The home lives much larger than expected, with multiple bonus areas providing flexibility for changing needs and lifestyles. Whether you're accomodating extended family, working remotely, creating dedicated hobby or fitness spaces, hosting guests, or simply looking for room to spread out, this home offers possibilities rarely found in a property of this style. The backyard is truly in a category of its own. Designed for both entertaining and everyday enjoyment, it features extensive custom masonry, a stunning stone fireplace, built-in grilling station, dedicated outdoor dining area, expansive patio spaces, above-ground pool, RV parking w/electrical hookup, and breathtaking sunset views. The scale and quality of these improvements represent an investment that would be extraordinarily difficult and costly to recreate today. Inside, large windows fill the home with natural light while creating a seamless connection to the outdoor living spaces. The open-concept kitchen and living areas provide an ideal setting for everyday living and entertaining alike. Adding even more value, the property includes an attic w/ a seperate entrance that may offer future expansion or accessory dwelling potential, subj to local approvals. Conveniently located less than 30 minutes from Burlington and under an hour from Montreal.
