Land for Sale in Franklin County, VT

Search Land for Sale in Franklin County, VT

Franklin County has more open land coming to market than most of northern Vermont, a function of its dairy economy and the size of its rural towns. The listings divide roughly into three groups. Serviced building lots sit in and around St. Albans, Swanton, Georgia and Fairfax, close to municipal water and sewer. Field and pasture acreage comes out of the working farm belt through Fairfield, Sheldon and Enosburg. Woodland parcels sit in the eastern hill towns toward Richford and Montgomery. Brian French Real Estate handles land transactions across the county. Compare towns on the Vermont real estate by town page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should be verified before buying land in Franklin County?

Town zoning and subdivision status, state wastewater and potable water supply permits, legal deeded access, wetland and floodplain mapping, and any current use enrollment on farm or forest acreage.

Is municipal water and sewer available?

In and near the St. Albans, Swanton and Enosburg Falls village districts, often yes. Elsewhere in the county a parcel needs its own well and an approved septic design.

Does current use enrollment transfer with the parcel?

It can, but the terms and any withdrawal penalty depend on how the land continues to be managed. Ask for the current use documents early in the process.
