Embrace the simplicity of cabin living, tucked away on just over 2 peaceful acres, this charming country retreat offers a nice balance of comfort and nature. Inside, you’ll find a cozy one bedroom layout, with an additional den, perfect for overflow sleeping or an office area. The home is open concept kitchen/living/dining area, and a bath. The added antique charm of the potbellied wood stove provides cozy heat for those colder nights. Ideal for Vermont weekend getaways or year round simplicity and surrounded by mature perennials, a lush open lawn, and classic New England stone walls, the outdoor space invites you to unwind by the fire pit or explore the nearby woods. Two spacious sheds provide ample storage for tools, gear, or hobbies. The home features a metal roof, a drilled well, and propane heat—plus the added bonus of two natural springs. This park like setting is located on a quiet, town maintained road, just 10 minutes from restaurants and stores in the village of Newfane, and the recreational activities of Townshend Dam and Townshend State Forest. Whether you’re dreaming of a quiet escape or a charming starter home, this inviting property delivers both serenity and value.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
