Many Central Vermont flood victims are now receiving peace of mind. A recent headline from USA Today read “Vt. approves buyouts for 99 flooded homes”, demonstrating the help and the hope facing many owners of Central Vermont real estate who were devastated by Irene. While there are a couple of entities involved in the reimbursement, homeowners will basically recover 100% of the value of their homes if approved.

Owners of homes in Barre, Northfield, and Rochester Vermont are among those expected to receive reimbursement for flood damage. Many Central Vermont homes were damaged beyond repair, others are simply in too precarious of a location to be repaired due to the risk of future flooding.

Central Vermont, Ride A Train & Step back in Time This Weekend

BCK Real Estate, Central Vermont Real Estate

In Central Vermont you have the opportunity to ride a train and step back in time this weekend. On Saturday, May 12th there will be a celebration for National Train Day, where old fashioned passenger cars can be boarded in Essex for a trip back in time to Waterbury VT. The trip will be roughly 35 minutes long and will represent a wonderful way to experience how train travel used to be.

It wasn’t too long ago that trains were a true staple in Central Vermont and New England. When trains were a preferred mode of transportation train stations were often the center of a community. The historic train station in Waterbury is demonstrative of a time gone by, its vintage architecture enabling us all to envision comings and goings of the past.

One focus of this year’s celebration of National Train Day will be a discussion of train track improvements that have been made in Central Vermont and across the region as a result of Hurricane Irene. In addition Governor Shumlin will be on hand to celebrate trains when the passenger cars pull into the station in Waterbury.

Contact us today to learn more about living in Central Vermont and how its history plays a role in today’s communities. We have access to all Central Vermont homes currently listed for sale as well a wealth of knowledge to help you get to know our unique area.

Central Vermont celebrates mud season with talent.  In the mountains mud season is the time after ski season when everything is melting, wet, and subsequently muddy, an in-between time when people lament over the end of skiing and look forward to summer activities.  In Central Vermont this time of year is celebrated with a talent show.

This year marks the 18th year for the annual Mud Season Variety Show, otherwise know as “The Local Re-View”, being held in Randolph VT this coming Saturday at 7:30 pm.  Talent from many of our Central Vermont towns will be performing, offering laughs, tears, and lots and lots of entertainment.  Juggling, piano playing, guitar playing, singing, and comedy are just a few of the acts you can expect to see on stage at Chandler Music Hall.

The Annual Mud Season Variety Show is but one event that brings the Central Vermont community together.  Unique to our area, the show places amazing local talent of all ages in front of us, helping to dissuade the gloominess that mud season can often bring.  Contact us today to learn more about living in Central Vermont.  We can help you get to know the different towns and the wonderful aspects that each has to offer its residents.

Waterbury Vermont Home to New Watering Hole

by John Biondolillo and David Jamieson of BCK Real Estate

Waterbury VT Waterbury Vermont has recently become home to a new watering hole.  The Prohibition Pig opened up in a familiar spot on South Main Street in Waterbury, where one of the area’s favorite eatery used to be, The Alchemist.  The Alchemist closed its doors after Irene caused flooding and major damage to the restaurant, making it unfeasible for the owners to justify the cost of reopening.

The Prohibition Pig is breathing new life into what has always been a great spot in Waterbury, a bittersweet situation but one which appears to be embraced by the residents of Waterbury Vermont as it brings new life to one Central Vermont area damaged by flooding.  Central Vermont will be seeing more and more businesses reopening as well as new businesses appearing as repairs and overhauls take place.

Less than a month old the Prohibition Pig is creating a strong fan base in Waterbury Vermont.  Contact us toady to learn more about living in Waterbury Vermont.  We have access to all Waterbury VT homes as well as all Central Vermont real estate currently listed for sale.  Mortgage rates are still low and there couldn’t be a better time to be a buyer.

Central Vermont, Maple Syrup Big Business

by John Biondolillo and David Alexander of BCK Real Estate

Central Vermont

BCK Real Estate / Central Vermont Real Estate

In Central Vermont maple syrup is big business.  Demand for maple syrup has increased both nationally and internationally as the negative focus on artificial sweeteners has grown.  Maple syrup and agave nectar are increasingly more popular sweeteners as they are natural products, containing no chemicals.  In Central Vermont we benefit from being in one of the few areas in the world that is capable of producing maple syrup.

The Eleventh Annual Vermont Maple Open House Weekend will take place this coming weekend, showcasing the maple syrup industry and offering demonstrations, samples and so much more.  One maple syrup provider in Rochester Vermont, Mom & Pop’s Vermont Maple Syrup, will represent some of the best that Central Vermont has to offer demonstrating the unique way that they make syrup, boiling with oil instead of wood.

Montpelier will be showing off some of its best maple syrup as well, with Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks open Saturday and Sunday and demonstrating how the syrup is boiled.  The Eleventh Annual Vermont Maple Open House Weekend offers a great opportunity to learn more about one of Vermont’s biggest exports and see how our favorite sweetener is made.

Central Vermont

BCK Real Estate / Central Vermont Real Estate

In Central Vermont fly fishing is a way of life for many.  The rivers in Vermont are varied and known for the spectacular fishing, so much so that those passionate about the sport can volunteer and pass along both the passion and environmental awareness.   The motto in Central Vermont is that “fishing is more than catching a fish” and the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department wants to encourage and attract new fishermen while teaching them correctly from the start.

The “Let’s Go Fishing” program is looking for volunteers to learn how to teach fishing in an effort to attract new blood into the fishing world.  Part of this effort involves educating volunteers on our ecosystem and water resource management, in addition to general fishing skills.  This volunteering opportunity is a great way for fishermen in Central Vermont to give back to their environment and their sport.  Click here to learn more about the “Let’s Go Fishing” program and consider getting involved in your Central Vermont community.

Looking for a Central Vermont real estate opportunity that will put you close to some of the best fishing in the state?  Contact us today to learn more about Central Vermont homes and learn why our area is such a desirable place to call home, or second home.

Sales Tax on Ballot in Montpelier VT

by John Biondolillo and Matt Lumsden, BCK Real Estate

Montpelier VT

BCK Real Estate / Central Vermont Real Estate

A sales tax is on the ballot in Montpelier VT, where voters will decide if money can be raised from a 1% sales, lodging, and food tax or not.  For some in Montpelier the tax is seen as a way for the local government to avoid cutting its budget, proponents see the tax as a fair way of generating funds in a time when money is scarce.

Montpelier is quintessentially Vermont, offering unique locally owned stores without the presence of the big box stores that are a part of today’s American landscape.  The shop owners and inhabitants of Montpelier like it this way, maintaining the charm of our Central Vermont area.

Some shop owners worry that an added tax will deter people from spending money and affect locally owned businesses.  On the flip side, many communities improve their budgets with an added local sales tax and are doing quite well.  Here in Montpelier we will have an answer to this debate tonight when the votes have been tallied.  If you haven’t made it to the polls you have until 7 pm tonight.

Contact us today to learn more about living in Montpelier.  In addition to having access to all Montpelier real estate we also have access to all Central Vermont homes that are currently listed for sale and can help you locate the community that you would like to call home.
