DavisStraight Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 What's the mountain in Vermont that has residences right on the slopes? Those must be at a pretty high elevation. I stayed at Bolton one time and saw a small residential street of homes at about 2000'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that's probably the top. That is way, way up there. Living at almost 2,600ft must be wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, Wentworth Road loop up there.... one of the weeniest snow spots out there, IMO. 2200-2300ft on the upper west side of the Green Mtn Spine. Going to get a lot of precipitation there. No wind direction is bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like a winter storm where it takes 24 hours to get 6" on the NW fringe, ha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CT Valley Snowman Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I would think the higher plateau of the east slopes of the Berks, towns like Windsor, Savoy, Peru , Florida, etc would probably have some homes near 2K as well. Edit: found a house at 2,100 ft 1095 North St, Windsor, MA 01270 House is for sale. Not bad for MA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugarloaf west mtn houses close to the same elevation. Good catch - I never looked at Saddleback. The highest condos south of the base get up to 2640'. Again, I suspect those are all second homes and I think the original question was for primary residences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dealing with this house at 1550' is enough. The climate at elevation in NNE can rapidly destroy decks, roofs, siding, landscaping, etc. Not just snow, but factors such as ground frost pushing on decks also wreak havoc. It's going to be a constant battle for the owners of that house to keep it from degrading into junk status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be careful when buying a remote place like that. You need to have a large budget for upkeep and a lot of patience. It can take a while and cost a lot of money to get tradesmen and landscapers in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhineasC Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I prefer the rugged close-up views from my backyard over the more distant rolling hills vibe from that house. But it's gorgeous inside for sure. I wouldn't kick that house out of bed for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle enough keeping up with my small, 3 bedroom ranch. I don’t need a bigger headache. Though I suppose if I had enough money to build/buy something like that I could afford to pay for maintenance and house cleaners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
