Just starting to think about a move to vermont...I live in the berkshires area of western, mass, which in a lot of ways is very similar to VT, but none-the-less is still part of massachusetts /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif I have a nice big place here(lots of land), but the writing is on the wall already in terms of development pressures in the not to distant future. That combined with the cronic tax and spend government is making me rethink things...
Anyway, I know of you guys live in VT...any recommendations on areas to narrow in on the search?
I'd be ideally looking for an older farm type setup, barns etc, 100 acres or more would be better with a mix of tillable/open and forested lands etc. Condition of the house/buildings is less important to me than the land/location and potential.
Preferably in an area that is less likely to feel too much development pressure in the next few decades (I know no place is immumne) and I don't need to live in any "trendy" area where the prices have already gone thru the roof.
Recommendations on regions to look at, realtors recommendations or even any specifc places for sale would be appreciated.
Also, any big issues facing vermont that I should know about?
Thanks.
