The Knowles Farmhouse is a classic farmhouse property and ready to renovate. Sited on 5 acres with two classic red barns, this property would make a terrific family home.  Raise goats, horses, chickens, or sheep!  Or just enjoy the Vermont vernacular architecture of the classic barns and mountain views. Located on the corner of Ferry Road and Lake Road, the property is minutes to the Charlotte Beach, Mt Philo State Park, Lake Champlain and marina.  Currently, the home has an upstairs kitchen and three bedrooms, a full bath, and was used for the family's grandmother.  The first floor has a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, full bath, office, and porch. Each level is a separate living space and could be restored to the original floor plan of a family farmhouse. The doorways are intact to open up the first floor to the second floor via the central hallway. The house has been pre-inspected and the stone foundation is in good condition. Renovate the home in this prime location with new updates. The roof is 2.5 years young, new two car garage, newer hot air furnace, new drilled well. Additional 99 conserved acres is available. The 99 abutting acres is for sale - see MLS #4877528 - it is in a permanent conservation easement with Vermont Land Trust. Therefore the 99 acres cannot be developed and provides great views across the acreage. The acreage can be leased to farmers or vineyards. Bike to the Charlotte Beach or hike Mt Philo - only 20 minutes to downtown Burlington Vermont.
