Property Description

Lake Hortonia Cottage ? A Four-Season Retreat. Tucked into a quiet cove on the northwest shore of Lake Hortonia, this charming two-bedroom all-season cottage offers the kind of Vermont lakefront living that's increasingly hard to find. Set on 428 acres of pristine water, the lake is tailor-made for swimming, boating, kayaking, and fishing-and when the seasons turn, the ice fishing is just as rewarding. Inside, the cottage is warm and inviting year-round. A centrally located wood stove anchors the living space, ready to take the chill off a crisp autumn morning before you decide to fire up the forced hot air system. It's the kind of place where you ease into the day at your own pace. Perhaps the most unexpected gem on the property is the seasonal "bunkhouse" -a cozy outbuilding nestled among the pines with views out over the lake. Whether you're dreaming of an artist's studio, a writer's retreat, a guest space, or simply a quiet place to disappear, this versatile structure checks every box. When you're ready to venture out, you're well-positioned for everything Vermont has to offer. Middlebury is less than 30 minutes away for dining, shopping, and culture, while the Middlebury Snow Bowl and Mountain Top's renowned cross-country ski trails are within 45 minutes - making this a true four-season home base. Please note: This property does not have a year-round affidavit. The wastewater system consists of a 2,000-gallon holding tank and a drywell. Buyers should consult with their agent and the town regarding intended use and any applicable seasonal considerations.
