Come visit this private little mountain retreat located in Ripton, VT. Only 4.5 miles from east Middlebury on a town maintained road this property could serve as your year round home or vacation get-a-way. The lot is 2.5 +/- acres, corner pins have been located and the boundary is blazed. Lot is primarily wooded with many apple trees, two sheds and a small pond. Priced way below assessment, it does need a little TLC but this has been more than compensated for in the price.

Only 4.5 miles from east Middlebury on a town maintained road this property could serve as your year round home or vacation get-a-way. The lot is 2.5 +/- acres, corner pins have been located and the boundary is blazed. Lot is primarily wooded with many apple trees, two sheds and a small pond. Priced way below assessment, it does need a little TLC but this has been more than compensated for in the price. The 920 SF cabin features two small bedrooms, one bath and dining area and separate living room. Heated by a propane stove and a wood stove, the home has power and a spring well. Home was insulated by Efficiency Vermont in 2008 and used as a primary residence until 2010. Since that time it was used occasionally as a vacation spot and had a new metal roof installed in 2016. There is an attached woodshed and the front deck is enclosed with glass windows and screens. There may be some seasonal views with clearing but it is hard to tell. The cabin is setback and elevated above the road offering substantial privacy. Septic system likely requires replacement. Seller says the deer are often in the front yard feeding on the apples. Very close to the beautiful Middlebury area known for its wonderful college atmosphere, shopping and restaurants.
