For many years the owners have enjoyed the serenity of this beloved campsite, as their Vermont Summer retreat. Now the time has come to pass their property on, for new owners to establish vacation memories of their own. The 1.5 acre parcel is wonderfully diverse! Near the height of the land an open area could well be the site for constructing a cabin. When facing South from this area a pleasant long view to distant hills is presented. When facing to the East there is an inviting woods trail encouraging exploration. This wooded portion of the property has its own appeal, with an opportunity for a quiet walk down this trail. An established driveway leads up into the property for vehicle access. A basic camper is included in the sale and is at the height of this driveway. On the lower portion of the property there is a level lawn area that would be well suited for volleyball, lawn games or wiffle ball! An unexpected attribute of this parcel is the potential for having a connection to the municipal sewer system! A sewer line passes through the property and with a successful application to the Town of Bridgewater a sewer connection could present interesting options! The location of this retreat is not far from a well maintained paved road yet when on the property it feels private and peaceful. Skiing at Killington is 15 minutes away! The well known amenities of shopping and dining in Woodstock Village are also just 15 minutes away! Your affordable vacation retreat awaits!
150 acres of recreational paradise! Absolute and total privacy! Enjoy long views of mountain peaks showing criss crossed ski trails, pristine cascading streams with mesmerizing waterfalls over large rock outcroppings, mature woodland which hasn't been logged in over 50 years, a fully equipped camper trailer with propane fired generator for off grid living and even a 4 wheeler outfitted with tracks to use for year round access! This large remote parcel directly abuts the Green Mountain National Forest to further extend the privacy well beyond the boundaries of the property! A very useful amount of level open land surrounds the camper trailer providing a platform for gatherings of friends. For 40 years this parcel has afforded the current owner the welcomed pleasures of an escape, if even for just a few days at at time, to the simple lifestyle of a true Vermont "Camp" in the beloved "Chateauguay." 25 years ago, the 4 towns of Barnard, Bridgewater, Killington and Stockbridge banded together, working alongside conservation-minded nonprofits, to form the Chateauguay No Town Conservation Project, with the goal of conserving as much of the 60,000-plus acre Chateauguay area as possible. For hundreds of years the beloved Chateauguay region has been known for pristine wildlife habitat, the always hopeful prospect of gold panning and endless trails for exploration. The access to the 150 acre parcel being offered is up a long rugged 4 wheel drive woods road. The setting is truly magical!
