That's freaking GORGEOUS. That massive window out onto the water view is breathtaking!!! And like, $436/SW ft beautifully finished!!!!

Yep.
Btw, a bit off topic but.., Why do realtors not lower the toilet seat when taking photos? Why do owners look at that picture and say “looks good to me.”

Plus there, you’re only 1 hour from Montreal! Great food, drinks, culture, world class stuff. In SK you’re 90 minutes from Boston, which is…..

Montreal has great direct flights, right?
Sunsets over the water.
Privacy.
Back up heat with a wood stove if power goes out.
Three season porch - add a pullout couch for a 3 season spare bedroom.

To Europe yes, Burlington has good airlines too, it like flying out of PVD. Lake Champlain is absolutely beautiful too. Only draw back, it gets so much colder up there 🥶🥶🥶

It does. I kind of like snow rather than brown if I’m going to be cold anyway though but those Vermont winters sure are looonnnggg.

Hey I'm not delusional, and that's very harsh language. This was a shed comfortable .5/.5 that I cleared the way for a creative person to style as they wish. And, you are paying only $350,000 to have the incredible privilege of being minutes from Narragansett. Yeah, Narragansett; ever heard of it?
For all interested parties, please give me a 4 hour notice for walk-throughs as I'll need to move my lawn mower and the squirrel traps.

Still so crazy it doubled in price since 2020.

Yeah that has been on the market for a while and for good reason. Dude is insane to ask for that .

But in Vermont. Beautiful but no jobs.

This actually reminds me of a place I looked at a while ago near URI. They had replaced the double garage doors with walls but never finished the garage and the realtor claimed that it allowed the next owners to do what they wanted with it… Wow so they could finish it or they could even make it a garage!

Depends on your line of work
I'm an oil man I'd kill it in VT. My wife works remote like a lot of people do nowadays
[deleted] t1_j71m1rh wrote
If you work remotely, Vermont is going to be an issue with internet access. According to the broadband locator, you’ve got mostly satellite or low speed wireless internet there.
We are spoiled in RI that way, which is the most connected state — every single address here has access to at least one high speed broadband provider. It’s one reason I live here.

Best I can do is pesos

Some people are employed there so “no jobs” isn’t quite accurate but yeah, employment is worth setting up before the move.

Truly beautiful. I hope someone who moved here from NYC or NJ sees it and it leaves. Sorry, not sorry. (You've caused a lot of problems here, already).

They don’t have the proximity to a major city that we do with Boston, so there’s no spillover effect that keeps people employed the way we do.

This house has the option for t mobile 5g 182 mb down 😂
I guess work from home is out
[deleted] t1_j71ykab wrote
I wouldn’t trust T-Mobile’s promised speeds, especially in rural Vermont. Their coverage maps are… “optimistic.”
Or at the very least I’d make an offer on the place contingent upon 5G actually working there.
Dopey-NipNips t1_j723ah1 wrote
I'm sure it works for 5 minutes at a time. I lived in rural VT we had satellite and it sucked.

The land is probably worth $180k. Removing the existing structure would cost $10k, so $170k seems fair.

It looks like an out house

True. That “house” gutted as it is, is nothing more than an old storage shed from the 1800s at this point.

It is fucking FREEZING up that far north. We visit the NEK area a lot, and it’s MUCH colder than here. Also, there’s no ocean and nowhere to work.
Edit: it is currently -13 f and 14mph winds in Alburgh for context

Don't start sharing south county and drawing attention to it! We're fighting for our lives trying to find a home down here!

No one’s buying that

Not for $340k USD they're not! I just can't, can't, can't forgive myself for not pushing harder to buy a place about 8 years ago now that was in SK on 2 acres for 199k. If I could timetravel, I swear I would just buy real estate.

The good news is the price has dropped 10k

For comparison. Same price point. Vermont. Water view.

Twice the size. Twice the acreage.
