MOTIVATED SELLERS! Now is your chance to purchase your very own piece of Vermont paradise! After you own this turn-key waterfront cottage on Lake Carmi (which is the 4th largest lake in VT), all you’ll need to do is open the door and relax! It boasts the rustic charm of a cabin but has the updates of a well-maintained newer home. It’s being sold completely furnished, including the dock system. It’s located on the north-east area of the lake with westerly views and amazing sunsets. You’ll enjoy a large yard, a fire pit area, a generous sized matching shed with power, lots of parking, a lakeside deck and bar, and a large dock system. High speed fiber internet. A shared drilled well is the water source, not lake water. Since purchasing in 2017, many major improvements have been made including: lifting the camp 2 feet and adding supports, rebuilding the entire front and installing larger windows, new appliances, an upgraded electrical panel, new plumbing throughout, a new septic tank, and new Rannai heaters and gas lines. NOT IN A FLOOD ZONE. Leased land. New 99 yr lease needs to be written. $1000/yr. Increases 25% every 5 years. Lot not for sale. (The homeowner pays annual “rent” to the landowner. You can treat the lot AS YOUR OWN LAND as long as it's not harmful/destructive. Pay the annual fee: that’s it). Ask about a local bank that lends on leased land. Portal at property to offer a second bathroom for renters - septic works fine. Agent Interest. Boat/lift not included
