The north west corner of the house is the primary suite while the eastern wing contains the two guest rooms & second full bath. This home is warm and cozy in the winter months thanks to the radiant heat in the stained concrete floor. The dwelling sits at the top of a 7.7 acre open lot situated due south to take advantage of passive solar gain but also offers lovely sunset views. The exposure combined with the open nature of the land make this a great place to grow your own food & have some livestock. This is a unique opportunity for those looking for a country home in the rural country side of Vermont's Northeast Kingdom.
