Washington County, Vermont
Land in Washington County doesn’t sell like a house
The tracts we are asked to buy in Washington County are big — frequently over fifty acres and running to 489 acres near Cabot, Roxbury and Calais. Acreage at that scale is priced by what it can produce or be divided into, not by the square foot, and getting it wrong in either direction costs the owner real money. A lot of the ground here is agricultural or has been farmed at some point, which brings its own questions: a handshake lease with a neighboring farmer, a use-value tax deferral, or fields that have gone back to scrub.
We are not an agency and we are not shopping your parcel to a list of buyers. We are the buyer. That means one number, one decision, and a close that does not depend on somebody else’s loan approval.
People arrive here wanting to sell unwanted land, sell inherited land, or just find out how much their land is worth. Any of those is a fine reason to call.
Local specifics we work through on every parcel here
In Vermont each town sets its own property tax due dates and installments by town meeting vote (32 V.S.A. §4773), so the schedule changes from town to town. Once a tax has been delinquent for more than a year and at least $1,500 is owed, the collector can sell the land at a tax sale (§5252), and the owner then has one year to redeem it, with interest of 1% a month (§5260). On land nobody visits, that clock can run out unnoticed. Deeds for land in Washington County are recorded with the town clerk of the town where the land lies — Vermont keeps land records by town, not at the county seat. Washington County covers about 687 square miles, so “the Washington market” is really several markets — what a tract is worth near Cabot and what it is worth in the far corner of the county are different numbers. On rural parcels a state wastewater and potable water supply permit from the Agency of Natural Resources is required before subdividing land, putting up a new building or installing a septic system, and the design has to be certified by a licensed designer (10 V.S.A. §1973); what the soil will support often decides whether a parcel is a homesite or just acreage. A lot of rural Vermont acreage is enrolled in Current Use, the use value appraisal program, which taxes qualifying farmland (generally 25 acres or more) and managed forestland on its use value instead of its market value (32 V.S.A. §3752). If enrolled land is developed, a land use change tax of 10% of the changed land’s full fair market value comes due (§3757). None of it stops a sale, but it has to be handled before closing rather than discovered at it. The assessed value is a tax figure, not a price, and we never price a parcel off it. For what it is worth, our own research file on Washington County runs to 50 parcels, and the bulk of it sits in two size bands — forty to a hundred acres and over a hundred acres. That is where we are quickest, though we buy well outside those bands in both directions — small lots and tracts of several hundred acres alike.
On a Washington County parcel we look at
- Flood, wetland and stream coverage across the full acreage
- Whether the tract splits sensibly, and what the county requires to divide it
- Current agricultural or hunting leases and their end dates
- Use-value or deferred tax status and the roll-back exposure
- Mineral, timber or hunting rights that may have been severed from the surface
Where we buy in Washington County
Montpelier and the surrounding communities — Cabot, Roxbury, Calais, Barre, Marshfield, Northfield, Plainfield and Worcester — plus the rural addresses in between that do not sit in any town at all. We buy anything from a single-acre lot up to tracts of 489 acres here, and the size that suits us most is around 63.6 acres.
How selling works
The whole process is three steps, and you are free to walk away at each one.
Send us the parcel details
The parcel number or the road it sits on, roughly the acreage, and anything you already know about access, soil or unpaid taxes. A short call or the form is enough.
We do the research
We do our homework on Washington County parcels ourselves, at our cost. Comparable sales, zoning, flood and wetland mapping, legal access, and who the deed actually names. At our expense, with nothing owed by you.
You get a number in writing
A written cash offer within 24 hours with the terms set out plainly. Accept it and we open title and pay the closing costs, closing in as little as 14 to 30 days once title is back.
Selling to us vs. listing it
A listing is not the wrong answer for everybody. If your parcel is easy to finance and you can afford to wait out a slow market, a retail sale may net you more. This is the trade-off, stated plainly.
| Selling to Dreamify | Listing with an agent | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | None | Typically 6–10% on land |
| Closing costs | We cover them | Usually split or seller-paid |
| Repairs, survey, clean-up | Not your problem | Often requested by retail buyers |
| Financing risk | None — cash | Land loans fall through often |
| Timeline | As little as 14 to 30 days once title work is back | Land can sit on the market for months |
| Who you are dealing with | A direct cash buyer — we are the ones purchasing | An agent marketing it to someone else |
If we think you would do better listing it, we will say so on the first call. We would rather lose a deal than talk somebody into the wrong one.
Why owners in Washington County call us
Back taxes are not a problem
Delinquent taxes are settled out of the proceeds at closing. You do not need to clear them first.
Heirs and estates are routine
Unprobated estates, multiple heirs and deeds still in a parent’s name are the most common situations we handle.
Out-of-state owners welcome
Everything is done remotely — documents by email, a notary where you live. You never need to travel to the county.
No showings, no clean-up
You do not need to mow it, clear it, survey it or show it to anybody.
We close through a title company
A licensed title company or closing attorney handles the money and the deed, so you are not trusting us with either.
No commission, no fees
Nothing comes off your side for a listing fee, and we do not charge for the research we do on the parcel.

We buy with our own money — here is what we have closed
We are not a lead broker collecting your details to sell on. When we make an offer on a Washington County parcel it is our own capital behind it, and these are real closings.

| 6.24 acres | Jasper County, Georgia |
| 8.5 acres | Pike County, Mississippi |
| 5.05 acres | Dawson County, Georgia |
| 32.3 acres | Perquimans County, North Carolina |

Washington County land selling questions
There are several heirs and we do not all agree. Can you still help?
Often yes, though it depends on how the title reads. If some heirs will sell and others will not, there are routes — buying the willing shares, or a division — but they take longer and cost more. We will tell you which situation you are actually in before you spend money on a lawyer.
I don’t live in Vermont. Can I still sell?
Yes. A large share of the land we buy belongs to out-of-state owners. Everything can be handled remotely — documents by email and a notary or remote closing where you live. You do not need to travel to the county.
Will you explain how you arrived at the number?
Yes, and we would rather you ask. The offer comes from comparable sales of similar acreage nearby, adjusted for access, soil, flood mapping, zoning and usable shape. If you think we have a fact wrong, tell us and we will re-run it.
Is my parcel too small to interest you?
Probably not. We buy small lots as well as large tracts. What matters more than size is legal access and whether the title is clean enough to close.
Part of it is in a flood zone or wetland. Will you buy it?
Yes, and we look up the mapping ourselves before quoting. Wet or flood-mapped ground is worth less than dry buildable acreage, but it is not worthless and it does not stop a sale.
Do you buy land with an old mobile home or shed on it?
Usually yes. Structures do not scare us off — we just need to know what is there, because clearing or dealing with it is a cost that has to sit somewhere in the numbers.
Do you buy raw or unwanted land, not just nice lots?
That is most of what we buy. Raw, wooded, overgrown, no utilities, no driveway, never surveyed, inherited from someone who never visited it — none of that is a problem. You do not need to clear it, mow it or clean it up before we look.
I want to sell my land fast. How fast is realistic?
A written offer inside 24 hours, then closing in as little as 14 to 30 days once the title work comes back. Clean single-owner parcels are the quick ones. If your land is tied up in an estate with several heirs, expect longer — that is the paperwork, not us dragging.
Is there a cash buyer for land near me in Washington County?
Yes. We buy across Washington County and the counties around it, and because everything can be handled remotely it does not matter whether you live down the road from the parcel or three states away.
How much is my land worth in Washington County?
The honest answer is that it depends on legal access, whether the ground will perc, flood mapping, zoning and usable shape — two neighboring Washington County parcels of the same acreage can be worth very different amounts. We will look up recent comparable sales around your parcel and tell you the range we see, free, whether or not you sell to us.
