144 elm Street, Barton, VT 05822

"The whole area is walkable but the road this property sits on is more hilly. Leash law in Barton Glover/West Glover and a local who complains if it is not adhered to (me). Walking, biking, jogging in these areas is almost meditative it is so beautiful. In my 60 years I have never found nicer neighbors than in Barton. Shopping is more troublesome for we don't have department stores save one smaller expensive store but Amazon is great. Grocery shopping is fine; we have both local markets and larger markets in Newport which is about 20 miles away. We do have farms thus manure spreading and if this bothers you rural Vermont is not the place for you but the farmer in the area tries to spread right before rain so generally you are only angry for a couple days while the tractors are speeding down the roads. Traffic is generally respectful and as you would expect in rural area. If you are not from Vermont and don't like cold do not come here because too many people have seen our beauty and fallen in love only to find they can't stand the temps; if you are from down south rent first and if you still love Vermont move in. Newspapers are terrible featuring high school sports and obits, but the web is great. Lots of wildlife. Drawbacks: gout weed, Japanese knotweed and burdock -constant battle if you like foes not on video games."
