1900 Lowell Vermont Farmhouse with Mountain Views and Attached Garage — $92,500

Fourteen miles from Jay Peak and you are paying $54 a square foot for a four bedroom, two bath farmhouse on three quarters of an acre with mountain views in every direction.

The house dates to 1900 and sits along Route 100, which runs the length of Vermont north to south. The road is paved. Behind and across the property, hundreds of acres stretch out that are not yours but also will not be developed. The views those acres create are the ones you see from your windows. The attached garage holds several vehicles, which matters when you are this far north and the winters are what they are in Lowell.

The layout gives you 1,700 square feet across four bedrooms and two full baths. For a house at this price in this part of Vermont, that is a real amount of space.

The mechanicals are in decent shape for a house this age. The furnace is eight years old. The septic is fairly new. There is a drilled well on the property. These are the things that can quietly cost you money on an old place, and here they are already handled or recently done.

The location puts you within reach of a few different things depending on what you want from it. Jay Peak is 14 miles north. Stowe is 32 miles south. Newport and I-91 are about 20 minutes away. The Canada border crossing at North Troy is 13 miles up the road. It is genuinely in the country, on a main route, but not isolated.

The agent calls this a renovation project and that is honest. A house built in 1900 that has been lived in through Vermont winters for 125 years will have things that need attention. But the bones of what you are working with here, the land, the acreage buffer, the views, the garage, the room count, and the proximity to Jay Peak, are not something you usually find at $92,500.
