Description
Highgate Home with Detached 2-Car Garage on 2.51± Acres
Welcome to this versatile 2.51± acre property located along the U.S. Route 7 corridor, offering a practical combination of usable land, convenience, and flexibility for a variety of residential or personal needs. The parcel includes a single-family home positioned back from the roadway, providing a sense of privacy while still maintaining quick access to nearby services and major travel routes. The home offers two heat sources, providing options for seasonal comfort and added reliability. The residence offers functional space for full-time living, rental use, or as a base for future updates, renovations, or expansion plans that buyers may wish to explore.
A notable feature of this property is the spacious detached 2-car garage, which provides ample room for vehicles, equipment, tools, or general storage needs. The garage layout also accommodates buyers who may require workshop space, a hobby area, or additional room for seasonal items. The home includes a nicely sized deck that expands the outdoor living area and creates a convenient spot for grilling, outdoor seating, or general relaxation while overlooking the surrounding yard.
The 2.51± acres blend open yard space with light tree cover near the edges of the lot. This mix allows for a variety of outdoor uses, including gardening, small-scale homesteading, pet areas, play space, or general recreational activity. The acreage is manageable while still offering more land than a traditional residential parcel, and the natural buffer around the property adds a degree of separation from neighboring homes.
The property’s location provides convenient access to essential amenities. Local shopping, dining, schools, and village services are only minutes away, and Interstate 89 is a short distance south, making travel to St. Albans, Burlington, and the Canadian border efficient. Nearby outdoor destinations such as Lake Champlain, the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, and multiple trail systems offer additional recreational opportunities throughout the year.
Buyers should conduct due diligence regarding zoning, utilities, permitting, and intended uses to ensure the property aligns with future plans.
