Escape to the serene scenic Northeast Kingdom of Vermont with this unique property. Situated on the shore of Holland Pond and surrounded by over 9,000 acres of the Bill Sladyk Wildlife Management Area, this fully rebuilt year-round cottage is a haven from the outside world. A Hearthstone Heritage enamel woodstove adds heat and ambiance to the open main living area. White cabinetry defines the L-shaped kitchen, with center island offering prep space and seating. A glassed-in porch provides dining and lounging areas overlooking the lawn and pond beyond. Two bedrooms and a 3/4-bath with custom vanity and washer/dryer are located along the back of the cottage. Energy efficient Marvin windows and LED lighting are found throughout. A Bosch propane furnace, RenewAire energy recovery ventilation system, and Rinnai on-demand hot water heater are housed in the concrete basement, which also has storage space. Two outbuildings are ideal for securely storing larger items, such as boats and snowmobiles. On the 1.89-acre open and wooded lot, natural features still take the spotlight. There's 200' of shoreline frontage with large granite boulders creating a one-of-a-kind waterfront patio, where your swimming, boating, paddling and fishing adventures begin on the 300+ acre Holland Pond. Plus, it's an ideal base for winter fun, including snowshoeing, ice fishing and snowmobiling with the VAST trail nearby. Once you discover this lovely four-season retreat you'll never want to leave.
