2466 Vt Route 114Burke, VT 05832Price: $225,000

Six acres just outside East Burke, with direct access to everything that makes this area worth being in. The house itself? It needs a full rehab, there is no sugarcoating that. This is a project for someone who wants to build it their way from the ground up, not patch over someone else's half-finished ideas. The upside: the groundwork is already started. Septic has been designed and engineered, saving you time and one of the bigger hurdles in rural builds. Power is on site, and the lot gives you space to spread out, stay private, or rethink the entire footprint if you want. Step outside and you're basically in it: mountain biking trails, snowmobile access, and Burke Mountain all within reach. You can ride from your door instead of loading up the car. The village of East Burke is just down the road for food, coffee, and the essentials, but far enough that you still get quiet and room to breathe. This isn't turnkey. It's not polished. But if you're looking for a spot in Burke to create something from scratch, with land, access, and the hard permitting piece already moving, this is a solid place to start. Subject to local and state Act 250 approvals.
