Green Mountain Woodlots and Country Land
Vermont has just 14 counties, but land values swing widely between Chittenden County near Burlington, ski areas such as Stowe and Killington, and the Northeast Kingdom of Caledonia, Essex and Orleans counties, where land is most affordable. Supply is tight. Recent market data shows about 800 parcels for sale against roughly 1,100 sold in a year, under 8 months of supply. The median land sale was about $105,000, with around 144 days on market. Tracts over 100 acres sold for a median near $375,000.
Vermont requires an attorney to close a land sale, and the property transfer tax is usually split between buyer and seller. Deeds are recorded by the town clerk, not the county. Development rules matter here: Act 250 can require a permit for subdivisions, some building projects and development above 2,500 feet of elevation. Land in the Current Use program owes a Land Use Change Tax of 10% of market value, or 20% if enrolled under 10 years, when it is developed. Non-resident sellers have 2.5% of the price withheld for state income tax.
EasyLotBuyer buys Vermont land in every county and pays cash. We make an offer within 24 hours, charge no commissions or fees, and pay the closing costs. Back taxes, liens, title issues or no road access will not stop us, and we can close in as few as 7 days.

What Affects Land Value in Vermont
Understanding these key factors helps you evaluate what your Vermont vacant land is worth.
Location & Proximity
Land near cities, highways, and amenities commands higher prices. Remote parcels in Vermont may sell for less per acre but attract buyers seeking privacy or recreational use.
Road Access & Utilities
Paved road frontage and available utilities (water, electric, sewer) significantly increase land value. Landlocked parcels or those requiring well/septic typically sell at a discount.
Zoning & Permitted Use
Residential, commercial, or agricultural zoning directly impacts what a parcel is worth. Land zoned for development in growing Vermont markets often carries a premium.
Parcel Size
Smaller lots typically command higher per-acre prices, while larger tracts offer lower per-acre rates but higher total value. Vermont's most active market segment varies by county.
