Proud recipients of a Lake Wise Award, the owners have thoughtfully maintained the property with lake health in mind.

The main level opens toward the lake with expansive southern views through double sliding glass doors, filling the living space with natural light. Exposed live edge beams bring the wilderness of Vermont inside as you gather after a day on the water. The screened-in porch is built for summer, morning coffee, long dinners, or watching the sunset over the lake.

Outside, a private concrete dock puts you right on the water for boating, swimming, and fishing, with 7.5 miles of shoreline to explore.

The lake's significant peat bog draws in wildlife, and the birdwatching here is some of the best in Northern Vermont.
