26 Marble Hill Road, Fayston, VT, 05363 | $174,400

Preposterous, entirely. 5 minutes to Mount Ellen, 6 to the single chair. With a 4BR town health permitted mound system, history as a duplex with the basement apartment listed on the lister card diagram, this one is a very beauiful roughian. You'll replace the roof, gut and completely renovate from the studs, and turn this into something gorgeous. Until now filled with decades of a gradually abandoned junk and basement level water intrusion, the seller has had nearly all of it cleared and removed so at least you can hit the ground running. Bring sledge hammer and sawzall, excavator too for perimeter drainage to help prevent further basement water intrusion, bring vision. All this, with what look like fairly decent bones, for an astounding $174, 400. Flip? House hack? Bring your thick skin and your skins for mountain: create your ultimate Mad River Valley ski chalet while enjoying the ski season. No this is not a double wide or a trailer. No, not a fleeting dream you're having only to wake up longing. As if in the Wizard of Oz, you can change these black and white pictures into living colror. Cash and carry, it's all about the ARV, all about future yield for the risk taking adventurist. Shake that piggy bank baby.
