Benson, VT | 883 Goodrich Cross Road

Seventeen acres. Lake Champlain down the road. A setup that actually delivers on the Vermont lifestyle without the usual compromises. Set along North Lake Road in Benson, just moments from the Benson boat launch, this fully renovated farmhouse sits on a highly usable mix of open pasture and productive land. About five acres are mostly fenced for animals, with the balance level, hayed, and tillable. The home has been completely updated, offering classic farmhouse character without the project list. Inside features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, first-floor laundry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a large living area with a pellet stove and mini split. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private en suite. The basement is dry, and metal roofing adds long-term peace of mind. A covered back porch overlooks your land and pond, perfect for morning coffee or evening sunsets. Outbuildings set this property apart. Attached one-car garage with power, plus a massive metal garage with space for at least six vehicles and ceiling height for lifts. The barn includes power, water, horse stalls, tack room, and hay storage above, and once housed a well-known racehorse. A four-bay pole barn with power adds even more flexibility. The land itself offers more than just usability, it's also a great setting for anyone who enjoys the outdoors, with abundant deer, turkey, and other wildlife regularly passing through the property. Less than a mile to Lake Champlain and an easy drive to Killington. If you’ve been waiting for usable land, a move-in ready home, and serious infrastructure, this is it.

Set on nearly 37 unrestricted acres in the beautiful Benson countryside, this 2007 Cape offers a rare opportunity to own a large agricultural property without conservancy or land trust restrictions. The open, tillable acreage is partially fenced and includes mature apple, peach, and pear trees, berry bushes, a six-stall horse barn with power and tack space, and an additional large hay barn. The two-bedroom, two-bath home features second-floor access to a covered balcony overlooking the vast expanse of open land and surrounding countryside. A finished portion of the basement was previously used as a veterinary office, with its own private entrance and the original infrastructure still in place, offering excellent potential for a home-based business or other flexible use. A large two-car garage with automatic openers is connected to the home by a covered walkway. Additional features include a whole-house generator, buried propane, private well, and private septic. Wildlife is abundant, and the VAST trail system runs through a neighboring property nearby. With expansive, unobstructed sky views, usable acreage, established agricultural infrastructure, and newer construction that is increasingly difficult to find in Vermont, this is a truly breathtaking and exceptionally versatile property.
