Tucked into the Ripton wilderness is this 12+ acre wooded parcel with the Fire Brook running through it! Located at the end of a private road, the first part of the lot has some trees that were planted as part of a Christmas tree farm nearby. A logging road winds through the property, crosses the brook, and leads you to a higher elevation in the back of the lot with mountain views. A State wastewater permit for a four bedroom home is in process and will be in place prior to a closing. Come build your new home in a place where you can hike and ski right out your door! Just 20 minutes to downtown Middlebury, and 5 miles to the Rikert outdoor center for nordic skiing, and 7 miles to the Middlebury College Snow Bowl for alpine skiing. Outdoor recreation and your own personal retreat awaits!
Welcome to North Branch Road in beautiful Ripton, Vermont. Here is an 11.2+/- acre building lot located in the Low Density Residential Zone where minimum lot size is 10 acres. This property originally came with a trailer, a large 2 car garage with additional shop space, a drilled well and a septic system. The trailer has been removed from the site leaving the garage, well and septic. The sellers have no knowledge of the state of the current well, septic and the existing 2 car garage with shop, so the property is being sold as-is with a new State of Vermont Waste Water permit to build up to a 3 bedroom home. This amazing location has some great South/West exposure with gorgeous distant views of the Green Mountain Range and is in close driving distance to the Village of Middlebury, the Middlebury Snow Bowl, Breadloaf Mountain Campus, Robert Frost locations and awesome Green Mountain Forest hiking locations etc. etc. etc. Come take a look and imagine the possibilities.
