42 Elmridge Rd, Cabot, VT 05647

A beautiful private 3-season country home, deep in the woods, yet just a ten-minute walk to the center of town. It was built in 2004 by the owner as his summer home and used 5 months of the year. There are 521sf of finished, heated and insulated space, plus 368sf of integrated shop, garage and storage space (889sf total). Designed for low maintenance and for simplicity at seasonal changeover, internal plumbing was intentionally avoided to prevent leaks and deterioration in the off season. Water is collected from the all metal roof. Hence, it remains in excellent condition. The .95 acre lot is situated on a knoll with full southern exposure, high and dry on very well drained, stable soils. There are 162 feet of road frontage and a depth of 320 feet. Built with high grade premium materials for long life and without synthetics for good health. It is fully wired and connected to the electric grid and provided with two very efficient propane furnaces. DSL and high speed internet are readily available. The property offers a rare opportunity for conversion into an attractive year round home in a fine neighborhood for a fraction of the price of an existing home. The integrated garage and shop are under the same roof and well set up for future expansion. Municipal water is 100' from the front door and the sewer line is 300' away. There is a lockable cable at the foot of the drive, as well as an attached boat house and a freestanding shed suitable for small livestock. An array of furnishings, tools (including a table saw) ladders, grounds equipment and much else goes with the sale. A separate, approved .62 acre building lot is also available. Shown by appointment only. 802-397-8057
