Jane and Bernie might give it a look. No telling when they might have to make a quick exit.
Doing his taxes each year must be a bear.
That is to be expected but what about income taxes! Be a bit of a stickee wicket that!
I’ve been up there several times on my way to visit my aunt.Interesting place...several buildings,including the public library,literally situated on the border.There’s a stretch of a road there called Canusa Street (”Canusa” meaning Canada/USA) which constitutes the border.Cars in the driveways on one side have Vermont plates,cars on the other side have Quebec plates.US Border patrol always in sight...the RCMP is sometimes in sight.
DeMoulin has dual citizenship, but that perk won’t come along with the deed.
And there is no avoiding property taxes. Both the U.S. and Canada will come calling.
This sounded like a pretty good place until they brought THAT up...
When I was a Bishop’s University student (in the neighbouring Eastern Townships of Quebec) back in the late 1980s, I heard a story of a few students who bought a decent load of relatively cheap booze in Vermont to take back up into Quebec. As they were heading back, they saw a farmer’s field right near the border with no one in sight. One of them figured that they could grab the booze, run over the border on foot from there through the field and avoid paying the duty and taxes. They were able to do this without being immediately caught.
However, about a couple of days later, the cops showed up at their place because the farmer actually did see them running across his field, so he alerted the cops and noted the licence plate of the car they came up to his property in.
Too bad it doesn’t have a back yard.
I believe they did a story on this on the old TV show “Real People” back in the 80s.
I would only buy it if it were in the US. I couldn’t take one of those cold Canadian winters.
I wonder how the developers got that house built. Splitting two coutries had to be a bear to get approved. Or did the border move after the house was built? How many other structure share the US/Canada border.
