Pownal is a small quiet town in the southwest corner of Vermont, lying directly between nationally famous Bennington Vt, and Williamstown Ma. To the west is Petersburg NY, and east is Stamford Vt.  Stamford cannot be reached from Pownal.  The north south shape of the mountains and subsequent road building has resulted in the most movement between Bennington and Williamstown.

View Williamstown Land Prices.   Northwest Hill 112 acre farm with house is offered at $10,000,000


Williamstown is home to Williams College, it's famous for the Williamstown Theater Festival and Clark Art Museum. Williamstown is part of Berkshire County which calls itself "America’s Premier Cultural Capital"

Bennington is home of Southern Vermont College and progressive Bennington College, which has lent a laid back cosmopolitan feel to the town.

By car NYC is 3 3/4 hours away, Boston is 3 1/4 hours away, Albany is 1 hour away.

Williamstown has long had high real estate prices.  It has been the home the wealthy and famous.  Among them are Farah Pahlavi, former empress of Iran, Christopher Reeve, actor, Jane Swift, former governor, and Cole Porter, songwriter.

Much of Williamstown is owned by the college or is in land trusts.  Buyers wanting to be near Williamstown yet wishing for something more affordable have in the last few years been looking at Pownal.
People from NYC have also been buying weekend homes.  As a result Pownal land values have been rising substantially.

A Couple of Building Sites

A hill with great view of the pond on one side, a view of the Dome on the opposite.  Existing poles allow easy connection to utilities.  Gravel in the hill makes extending the existing driveway a snap, plus good perc.  Site is partially wooded.  Higher hill to the west across the pond gives protection from the wind.

Or move a hundred feet and skip the view of the Dome, keep all the other advantages and build into the side of the hill or nestle next to the pond.  Drainage is still good because the land slopes down away from the pond.  

There are other great sites, on the pasture and elsewhere,  I will show them on a tour of the property.
