Escape to your own private Vermont retreat with this unique camp property set on 36.3 acres of beautiful mixed woodland. The camp features a 10’ x 60’ mobile home with a 12’ x 20’ addition, offering extra space for relaxing after a day outdoors. The home sits on a cleared half-acre lot, while the remainder of the property is wooded—ideal for hunting, hiking, and enjoying nature. For outdoor enthusiasts, this location is hard to beat: two sides of the property border the 283-acre Derby Town Forest, providing direct access to even more land to explore. The remaining boundaries include Day Brook and private property in Brownington, along with scenic views of Brownington Pond. Close to VAST and VASA Trails for added recreational access, making it perfect for snowmobiling and ATV adventures. Access is convenient yet private, with a good road leading to the camp via a deeded right-of-way through Derby Town Forest, ensuring both ease of entry and seclusion. If you’re looking for a peaceful getaway with exceptional privacy and outdoor opportunities, this property delivers. Offered at $160,000 or best offer. For more information or to schedule a showing, please call 802-752-7574 (First) or 802-780-2782.
