99 Sunset Ln, Cavendish, VT 05142

Captain John Coffeen cleared the first permanent homestead in Cavendish in 1769, and building by hand has been part of the town ever since. This log home carries on that tradition. The owner built the house himself, along with every kitchen cabinet, vanity, and shelf inside. Living is all on one level over a poured concrete basement foundation. A wood stove keeps the main living space cozy, and a Buderus boiler supplies baseboard heat when you are away. The +-19 acres are gentle and open around the house with an expansive forest network. The VAST trail runs through the property, so you can head out on the snowmobiles straight from your door. In fall the maples turn from red to orange with yellow tips, and the perennial gardens return on their own each year. The garage has three oversized bays plus a woodshop bay, and a drive-in space holds three more cars. The owner operates an auto shop business here out of the garage and would be happy to rent the garage back for a while after closing while he settles elsewhere. That makes this a fit for a second home that brings in some extra income, or for a budding business owner. Oversized, practical spaces keep maintenance simple. Call to schedule a showing.
