About this home
Fern Lake is located between Middlebury and Brandon and has a "no-wake" policy. This makes Fern Lake a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, swimmers, and people of all ages who love to play in the water without the disturbance of loud engines. This sweet cottage, built in 1962, is on the southern shore of Fern Lake and has an exceptional view of the entire lake looking north with Mount Moosalamoo in the distance. The view is truly mesmerizing and is the primary feature; though the cottage, lovingly maintained by its most recent stewards, is not far behind, with lake views from most of the windows, a screened porch, deck, and fabulous docks on the water, including a new dock in 2026. The stone fireplace anchors the open living area that includes a kitchen and dining area. Off the living area are the bedrooms and bathrooms, all of which have new vinyl plank flooring, tolerant of wet feet coming in from the lake. Properties on Fern Lake do not come on the market often, so this one won't last long.

L1
Lake Shore District
The Lakeshore 1 District L1 District encompasses the area from the mean high water line inland for 150 ft. and comprises the development immediately adjacent to Lake Dunmore and Fern Lake. The Lakeshore 2 District L2 District surrounds Lakeshore District 1 from 150 ft. to 2500 ft. from the mean water level of either lake. The L1 and L2 Districts is located within the Lake Districts Area of the Leicester Town Plan. As such, the primary purpose of both Districts is to govern uses to limit their impact on the visual and natural resources surrounding Lake Dunmore and Fern Lake. Both Lakeshore Districts are composed of largely single family dwellings, including many seasonal cottages that provide their character and culture. However, a trend toward conversion of seasonal cottages to permanent year-round dwellings has arisen. These Regulations are intended to ensure changes to existing structures protect the water quality and environment and support and re-enforce the scale and character of the architecture surrounding Lake Dunmore and Fern Lake. As such, setbacks from the lake and retention of existing vegetation are encouraged. Marshy areas will be protected. Residential and other compatible complementary uses are permitted in both Districts at existing density levels; L1 is currently denser than L2. Commercial activities are permitted in both Districts after conditional use review focusing on their scale and character and their water quality, transportation and operational impacts. The L2 District contains important communal views from Lake Dunmore. In many areas steep slopes should limit development to areas with good access and limited visual impacts. Vegetation should be retained in these areas to reduce impacts
