Taxes
Taxes for the entire 126 acres has run around 3500-4000 per year (if I remember correctly-you can check the Craftsbury Town Clerk for exact numbers). If you purchase the property and want to lower your taxes (and you don't plan to build on a portion of the land), look into the current use program, which places a conservation easement on whatever portion you don't intend to develop, and significantly lowers taxes. I believe the minimum acreage that can be used to reduce property taxes is 10 acres -- but again -- not sure, so check out the website:
This is the official description provided by the state of Vermont:
Current Use Program
Vermont's Agricultural and Managed Forest Land Use Value Program -- better known as the Current Use Program -- was created in the late 1970’s as a companion to legislation that required towns to list property at 100 percent of fair market value. Because of escalating land values, it was clear that property taxes based on fair market value were placing a heavy property tax burden on owners of productive farm and forest lands.
The Current Use Program offers landowners use value property taxation based on the productive value of land rather than based on the traditional "highest and best" use of the land. In 2000, the current use value of the land in the program averaged about 20 percent of the full fair market value (Vermont Department of Taxes, 2001).
The Current Use Program includes a Land Use Change Tax as a disincentive to develop land. The tax is 20 percent of the fair market value of a property, or, in the case of the sale of part of a property, a pro rata share of the fair market value of the entire property.
The program is administered by the Vermont Department of Taxes. You can obtain more information by calling the Vermont Department of Taxes Current Use Program at (802) 828-5860 or by e-mail at vttaxdept@tax.state.vt.us

OFF THE GRID
This house is off the grid. It is wired and we have been using a generator, but our plan was to buy solar panels for our permanent source of electricity.
There are a few spots where cell phone reception can be found and the governor and legislature in Vermont has been aggressively expanding its internet and cell phone availability. Currently, internet and phone would require satellite service through Wild Blue, or a similar provider.
Again, teenager not included
There is also a tiny house on the property that is included in this sale.
