The ground floor includes a massive pine floor and pine wall L-shaped open studio, a floor-to-ceiling window potential office and a half bathroom. 675 is a traditional 4BR cape that has been used as a rental to significantly offset carrying costs and property taxes. A soaking tub and secret ground-floor bedroom closet appears to be just a bookcase. This rare mix of stunning homes and prime property with an occupancy-ready rental cottage offers utilitiy, style and investment appeal. Poised to launch the artist, craftsperson, micro-farmer or urbanite looking to get away from it all. Dazzle guests. Raise chickens, lambs, pigs or build an equestrian riding ring and farm barn. Ski Burke, Jay Peak and paddle the NEK ponds and lakes including nearby majestic Lake Willoughby. Paradise.
If your idea of a Vermont lake getaway is more rustic cabin than polished luxury retreat, this Lake Seymour property is well worth a look. Set on a spacious 0.63-acre lot with 100’ of private frontage on one of the Northeast Kingdom’s most sought-after lakes, this seasonal log cabin captures the relaxed, authentic feel so many buyers are searching for. Lake Seymour is known for its clear water, scenic mountain backdrop, and excellent boating, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding, while the surrounding area offers easy access to VAST snowmobile and VASA ATV trails for four-season recreation. The cabin itself is warm, inviting, and full of character with exposed log beams, softwood floors, and two wood stoves that create the cozy Vermont atmosphere buyers love. The main living area opens to an amazing screened-in porch overlooking the lake along with a large lakeside deck ideal for relaxing or entertaining. The spacious yard offers plenty of room for lawn games, gardening, and campfires by the water. Down by the shoreline you’ll find an additional deck along with the included dock, making it easy to enjoy long summer days on the lake. The property is being sold mostly furnished so the next owner can start enjoying lake life right away. A large 32' x 24' detached 2-car garage provides excellent storage for vehicles, boats, snowmobiles, and outdoor gear. The walkout lower level adds valuable extra space with a partially finished rec room, bonus room, storage area, and 3/4 bath. Heating is provided by both wood and electric systems, and the seller is currently working toward having the exterior stained this summer. While the cabin could benefit from some updating and cosmetic improvements over time, it is also the kind of property you can walk into and immediately enjoy while making upgrades at your own pace.
