Tucked away near the end of Hidden Springs Lane in the charming Village of Wells, this beautifully renovated 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers a rare combination of comfortable living, usable land, and incredible flexibility. Set on 3.70 private acres, the property features a large outbuilding with its own driveway, providing excellent accessibility and endless possibilities for a workshop, home-based business, hobby space, equipment storage, or whatever your vision may be. The level working area was previously used by the current owner for a small sawmill, making this an ideal opportunity for those seeking space to live and work in one location. With no zoning in the Town of Wells, the possibilities are wide open. The property includes two drilled wells and two separate 200-amp electrical services, one serving the residence and one serving the working area, providing excellent flexibility for both living and working on the property. A newer septic system approved for a three-bedroom home adds even more potential for future plans. The beautifully renovated home features warm wood floors and a charming country kitchen with newer appliances, a custom slate backsplash, and a stunning custom slate accent wall that adds timeless Vermont character. Newer windows, vinyl siding, and a corrugated metal roof offer easy, low maintenance living so you can spend more time enjoying the property. Whether you're looking for a place to live, work, create, or expand, this property offers an uncommon amount of flexibility. Enjoy the privacy of the country while remaining within walking distance of the Wells Country Store, post office, and Wells Village School. Lake St. Catherine and the Slate Valley Mountain Biking Trails are just minutes away, with Manchester approximately 30 minutes away and multiple ski areas within an hour. Looking for less land? The residence and approximately 1 acre are still being offered separately for $199,900, providing an affordable opportunity.
