2020 long pond road, Westmore, VT 05860

Some properties are simply a place to stay. This one is a reason to spend every season in Vermont. Tucked along the shores of peaceful Long Pond in Westmore, this meticulously maintained waterfront retreat offers approximately 110 feet of frontage and a front-row seat to one of the Northeast Kingdom's most beautiful settings. Start the morning with coffee overlooking the water, launch a kayak from your own shoreline, spend the afternoon swimming or boating, and end the day gathered by the fire as the sun disappears behind the mountains. Inside, soaring ceilings, warm wood finishes and an impressive wall of windows bring the setting into the home. The main level offers an inviting living area with propane stove, kitchen, bedroom and bath, while the open loft above provides additional sleeping and living space overlooking the main floor. A largely finished walkout lower level adds even more usable space. Outside, a screened porch, front deck, additional waterside deck and private dock create multiple places to slow down and enjoy the lake. The property is offered furnished and includes kayaks and a boat, making it remarkably easy to arrive and begin enjoying lake life from day one. For those who want more than the water, some of the Northeast Kingdom's best recreation is practically outside your door. Hike Haystack, Mount Pisgah or Bald Mountain, explore nearby Willoughby State Forest, or travel approximately two miles to spectacular Lake Willoughby. Burke Mountain and Kingdom Trails are also within easy reach for skiing and mountain biking. Built for year-round use, the home has been enjoyed seasonally by its current owners, who have winterized it each year. Its next owners can carry on that tradition or make memories here through all four seasons in the Northeast Kingdom. Quiet water, mountain trails, brilliant fall color and your own piece of Vermont lakefront. This is the kind of place you buy to enjoy for generations.
