About this home
Escape to the water’s edge with this inviting cottage on Martin’s Pond, a quiet, 82-acre lake beside Groton State Forest in the scenic hills of Peacham. This charming seasonal camp offers a warm, wood-filled interior with classic Vermont lake home character. Step into the spacious kitchen with vaulted ceilings, generous counter space, and a cozy dining nook. The sitting room off the kitchen leads to an enclosed porch where you’ll likely spend hours - reading, relaxing, or just soaking in the view of the pond. A few steps up, the living room with a wood stove creates the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the water. The main level also features a bedroom and full bath, while the second floor offers a large bedroom with windows that frame the lake. The private lot features great lake frontage, a dock, and plenty of space to enjoy nature. Martin’s Pond is known for its peaceful setting, wildlife sightings, especially loons, and calm waters meant for slow exploration. With nearby access to Groton State Forest trails and the timeless charm of Peacham village, this is a place to unplug, unwind, and reconnect with what matters.
