Those are some fantastic pictures. You have a lovely homestead.

If you don't mind my asking (and feel free to not answer if it's too personal) what does a nice property like that go for in Vermont? What are the property taxes like?

What are taxes like in general?

Do you actually raise any livestock or crops?

Are SUV's pretty much required to get around?

Do you have horses?

I've always been a city person so it'd be a big change.

edit: Oh and I forgot to ask about cost of living
