About This Home

Nestled into over five acres of rolling Vermont hillside, this immaculate log cabin is the kind of place that makes you exhale the moment you arrive. Sweeping views over the Barton River valley stretch out before you, painting a different picture with every season — and from your own front windows, you can watch bald eagles tending their nest in the adjacent South Bay Wildlife Management Area. Inside, the warm open-concept living area invites you to settle in and stay a while, anchored by a classic wood stove that fills the space with both heat and character. The generous primary bedroom, versatile loft, and bonus room offer plenty of room to spread out. Two bathrooms and a large modern kitchen keep the household running smoothly. A covered porch, mudroom, and deck round out the thoughtful layout — perfect for muddy boots, morning coffee, and golden-hour evenings alike.
Practical comforts are well in hand too: a brand-new heating system and a whole-house automatic standby generator mean you'll stay warm and worry-free no matter what Vermont's weather has in mind. Lovingly cared for since it was built in 2008, this cabin is as move-in ready as it is deeply charming.
