Northerly views to die for, beautiful sunsets, 119ft of lake frontage with a nice gradually sloping sandy bottom, all on a spacious . 79 acre lot that offers great potential to someday build your dream home. Quaint 2-bedroom cottage in a picturesque quiet setting surrounded by numerous mature pine trees. Potential investment property with great short term seasonal rental history. City water, detached storage shed and direct access to some of the best boating, sailing into Canada, fishing and more. Convenient walking distance location to most everything; bike path, downtown amenities & restaurants and only a 5 minute drive to Newport Country Club and 25 mins to Jay Peak Resort (skiing, golfing and indoor water park). Perfect get-away to escape the hustle & bustle of everyday life!
