Embrace the quiet beauty of Vermont with this exceptional 36.95+/- acre parcel in the historic town of Brookfield. Offering a perfect blend of rolling old pastures and lush hardwood forests, this property is the ideal canvas for a year-round retirement home, vacation getaway, or off-grid homestead. Accessible via town-maintained Cemetery Street, a long, flat driveway leads to an elevated clearing with stunning southeastern exposure - perfect for solar energy and views of the local hills. Septic testing indicates potential for a four-bedroom mound system, with a natural "knob" west of the clearing serving as a prime building site. Modern conveniences are close by, with a utility pole just south of the property providing access to power and high-speed ECFiber internet. Located minutes from the famous Floating Bridge and Allis State Park, the land also offers easy access to I-89 for a quick commute to the Barre/Montpelier area’s shopping and medical facilities. Nature lovers will appreciate the mix of mature hardwoods and northwestern softwoods, making it a paradise for hunting or camping. Best of all, the acreage is enrolled in the Vermont Current Use Program (6.7+/- acres excluded from program for development), keeping annual taxes at a low $736. From its historic village charm to its immense development potential, this Brookfield gem represents the very best of the Green Mountain State.
