420 Ponemah PathNewark, VT 05871Price: $650,000

124 acres, deeded lake access, and room to spread out. Most lake property in Vermont comes on a small lot, with neighbors close on both sides. 420 Ponemah Path is different. It has roughly 124 acres, a newer, carefully built home with a water view, and deeded shared shore access on Newark Pond. In summer, spend the day swimming, boating, or fishing on the pond, then head back up to the house. It sits well back from the road, set apart from the cluster of camps along the shore. Behind it, the land is mostly mature forest, with some open, cut areas that draw wildlife. Walk into the back acreage and it's all yours: well over a hundred acres of woods to explore, hunt, or simply be alone in. In fall the hardwoods turn and hunting season opens. Winter comes early and stays: ski Burke, ride the snowmobile trails, or snowshoe out the back door. At the end of the day, everyone gathers under the vaulted pine ceiling. From the road, the house looks like a classic Vermont camp. Inside, it's built to the standard of a fine custom home. The trim fits cleanly, the corners are crisp, and nothing was rushed. The house has two bedrooms, a loft, a fully equipped kitchen, tile floors, and radiant heat. It's off-grid and currently runs on solar power. Lake Willoughby, Kingdom Trails, and Burke Mountain are all nearby. Boston is about three and a half hours away, and Montreal about two and a half. Holdings this size, this close to water, rarely come to market in one piece.
