About this home
Step into a magical woodland wonderland with two charming small cabins set above a babbling brook. Terraced garden spaces and berry bushes of all sorts are to be found in this blue myrtle covered camp clearing with fire pit and natural al fresco dining area near the soft sounds of water plashing over stones. Off the grid, but with everything you need for comfortable living; there is a magnificent Sweetheart cookstove with hot water reservoir, gas lighting and refrigerator, composting toilet and even a sauna. Gasoline generator supplies power to pump the drilled water well, and, if you must be connected to the greater world, DSL has been available at the entrance. 11 acres of mixed woods provide your woodlot and potential for marketable timber, to say nothing of the peaceful hiking trails and snowshoeing opportunities across the bridge on the other side of the brook. Away from the world, but only 1.5 miles to the Maple Corner Store and 10 miles to Montpelier.
