In Cabot Vermont, overlooking Joe's pond, you will find this well maintained 3 bedroom, 2 bath log cabin. This is what's Vermont suppose to be! Just a mile off from pavement, minutes away from everything deemed important but as you sit on the covered porch gazing at the water, you may as well be miles from no-where. The interior of the cabin is thoughtfully laid out with exposed beams and all what cabins are sought for. The upstairs 2 bedrooms are generous in size and share a full bath. Both have views of the pond. The living part of the house has an efficient kitchen and dining area and the living room and computer area are open and cozy. There is a bedroom in the basement with full size windows, another sizable finished room and a utility area. The jewel is the large corner lot sprinkled with apple trees and the back covered porch with the spectacular pond views. This home is priced to sell.
