Additional Information

Located just south of the village of Starksboro, Vermont, this flat parcel spans 5 acres and has historically been used as a cornfield. Excellent soil, chemical-free, well hydrated, access to adjacent Lewis Creek. As it is a relatively small parcel it is ideal for an organic or community farmer looking to get started.

Owner’s residence is on site, on a total parcel of 58 acres, most of which is forested hillside enrolled in a Vermont Forest Plan. The “neighborhood” comprises four single-family residences occupied by long-term owners, all well spaced. Property sits in a valley between Lewis Creek and a small mountain, across a small but sturdy bridge crossing the creek.

Sorry, but we are not currently seeking to lease to a cannabis grower.
