Real Estate For Sale
 
 

Because we are working all over the country and see many of the cleanest geographical areas, we are very familiar with the criteria that makes property healthy and especially desirable. We have information from healthy areas that have key properties for sale, which will work very well for those interested in super healthy air quality. We deal with realtors and private owners that have houses and properties for sale in many locations. Our local realtors here in Vermont and Hawaii know what we are looking for and keep us posted with the latest properties that have become available.

Good high quality acreage for building is hard to find today. Most states have used up the best sites, and  more low quality land is now being developed.  I see this all over as I travel around the country. Much of the land left for development in suburban areas is a health risk to live on, simply because the air quality is so low there. Homes are being built directly adjacent to the freeways, under power lines and in low lying wet land areas that up until now were too costly to develop or were just not attractive enough for anyone to buy. But as land becomes scarce and costs skyrocket, this type of property becomes marketable. This we see in high population areas such as Weschester county in New York, areas in northern New Jersey, eastern New York, western and southern Connecticut, in California, New Mexico and Arizona, and all places where lots of people are looking for safe places to live. Premium prices are being paid for any land in these states [as well as all over], and yet the ambient air quality can be very, very low.

There are certain factors that make one piece of land better than another or superior for health. For example, the first settlers to this country knew that air quality in the valleys and low lying areas was inferior, and the prime ground for breading the killer diseases of the day. They settled on the ridges and mountainous areas. Now a days, the sources of contaminants are much larger in number, and the valleys and lower altitude areas have become thickly settled and very toxic. Besides the natural environmental hazards like high moisture and humidity and mold, all types of road contaminants like auto exhaust, industrial and household contaminants sink and rest in lower lying elevations. These toxics can and do build up to high levels, especially at specific times of the year when there is limited air flow, high humidity, and higher temperatures.

Most parts of the country have areas that have better characteristics than others, and therefore offer higher health qualities. Before any property is purchased, the basic principles for healthy property should be analyzed, or your investment and health may suffer dramatically. The difference between success and failure may be a simple analysis before buying.

Tad Taylors Healthy Homes LLC offers property inspections and analysis, as well as offering land locating services. Whether it is half an acre sea side in Malibu or Hawaii or 400 acres in rural high country Vermont or Colorado, there are great properties available.

In Vermont there are great sites, but as in many ski areas where there is a lot of vacation traffic, there is also much wood smoke in the winter. These areas must be avoided if the highest quality air is to be obtained year round. Hawaii on the other hand, offers incredible options, with limited wood smoke problems!!

We take each clients requirements, and interact with realtors to find the best options available. Tad goes out on location and researches the specific properties, and video tapes these options for the client to check out at their leisure. If any of the properties are of interest to the client, then they can travel to personally inspect them.

Please note that our services in this area require a retainer to initiate any action, although we are happy to discuss your specific
concerns. We ask that you let us know your requirements in writing, such as your long term plan, preference- land for a trailer retreat, vacation cabin, building new, or renovating existing house, and what your budget may be. Do you have to be near a town, hospital or friends, or can you be rural?  Are you physically impaired or do you like long dirt roads with lots of snow? Do you want sea side property and need to be near New York city, San Francisco or Los Angles? What are your health problems? What are your social and financial requirements- your job activities and restrictions and so on.
Taking a look at all these areas helps to narrow down what your personal specific requirements are, and what options you may actually have that you may have not considered. If you are serious, send these in writing to us if you are able, so we have time to consider all your specific requirements before we talk.

If  you are looking at property currently, let us know the specifics of that potential option, so we can advise or contribute to your plans. Send us a video of the property or let us come and inspect it for you.

If  you have or are aware of good land for sale, please let us know. We try to locate parcels and property being offered by private parties rather than realtors and brokers. This allows us to cut costs for buyers and offer more reasonable pricing for both the seller and buyer. Maps of property  boundaries, elevations and town maps showing public access and so on are great to have. Details on property specs such as well, septic, water, water restrictions, and zoning are all critical to know as well.  Send these to us at 494 Cobb Reed Road, Wardsboro Vermont, 05355, or call us at 802-896-6891.

Once part of the Molley Stark trail for run away slaves, once owned by friends of Thomas Edison, this  200 plus year old house has a colorful history.
Located 30 minutes from Stratton and Mt. Snow ski areas, it butts up against large parcels, including federal lands which is home to the American Black bear corridor. Rich in wildlife such as moose, turkey, deer, and small game, this pristine environment sits on a high hillside at about 1500 feet, at the end of a town maintained dirt road. Surrounded by fields and no neighbors to the west and north, fresh air abounds. Stone walls ring and intersect the property and section off  pastures, barn yards, and areas around the house including the main door yard.
The property has a delightful pond and several waterfalls, old and new apple trees, cherry trees, blue berries, grapes and raspberries. There are three driveways to enter the property and access barns,  with white gates and fences, lots of lilacs planted to create walls and dividers through out the yard,  roses, gardens with all types of flowers.     The property has had much attention, with stone work of all kinds including large stone steps and entry stones, garden paths and drainage installed. The yard has received much attention, including rebuilding original stone walls, landscaping, removal of trash trees and propagation of birches, maples, and hardwoods. There are several outbuildings on the property including a guest house [approx 20 x 30], a two story barn- workshop 18 x 32  with 10 foot ceilings and large front porch,  a storage shed approx. 16 x 28, a small green house, and a two story horse barn 24 x 36. The site of the original school house for the town is on one corner of the property, which is marked and the foundation still exists.  The excellent water comes from a private well [there are three on the property] and is of the highest quality.  There is approximately 10 acres of opened maintained fields and 20 woodlands, mostly hardwoods. There are roads and paths through the property, which abuts other fields and wood lands.  This is a very private site, with wonderful surroundings and visuals. It is mid way between Brattleboro and Manchester Vermont 3 miles off  RT.100, an hour and 1/2 to Hartford Ct airport and 2 -1/2 to Boston.

The house has original kitchen brick Mumford fireplaces and bread ovens,  wide plank flooring and 12 over 12 windows.

There are two large rooms off the mud room entry used for offices and there is a landing at the top of the stairs which is also used as an office. Heat is oil forced hot air in the house and gas in the mud room entry and offices. The house also currently has two woodstoves.
The condition of the house is very good, and is move in ready.
This property is being offered at 325,000.00.

While this property and location is excellent for one with health issues, the house may not meet the standards of everyone.

We are organizing the plans for small multiple parcel sub division on a highly unusual high altitude piece of property in southern Vermont. This will be a small community with guidelines and rules set up to protect the health of all land owners.

Each parcel is 10 or more acres, and has lots of privacy and plenty of clean air. All homes will be designed to be energy efficient, with lots of  natural light, passive solar with voltaic options. No wood burning or the use of pesticides or toxic materials will be allowed in the community. Homes will be set up to help protect the air quality for all the neighbors.

This is a spring time northerly view from one of  the parcels at 1800 to 2000 feet. These parcels, loaded with white birch and other hardwood trees, currently with no neighbors to the west and north, is at the end of a private road. Views are spectacular to the east, north and west, including what we see as Bromley Mountain, Stratton Mountain, possibly Killington in the distance, and other well known Vermont ski hills.

We are also looking for a parcel for developing a similar type sub division in Hawaii, on the island of Oahu, and being in contact with any individuals who may be interested in living in such an environment.

Anyone interested should contact Tad at 802-896-6891.
