107 Fernville RoadLeicester, VT 05733Price: $475,000

Fern Lake is located between Middlebury and Brandon, south of Lake Dunmore, and is the more peaceful of the two lakes, with a "no-wake" policy. This makes Fern Lake a popular destination for kayakers, canoeists, swimmers, and people of all ages who love to play in the water without the disturbance of loud engines. This sweet cottage, built in 1962, is on the southern shore of Fern Lake and has an exceptional view of the entire lake looking north with Mount Moosalamoo in the distance. The view is truly mesmerizing and is the primary feature; though the cottage, lovingly maintained by its most recent stewards, is not far behind, with lake views from most of the windows, a screened porch, deck, and fabulous docks on the water, including a new dock in 2026. The stone fireplace anchors the open living area that includes a kitchen and dining area. Off the living area are the bedrooms and bathrooms, all of which have new vinyl plank flooring, tolerant of wet feet coming in from the lake. Properties on Fern Lake do not come on the market often, so this one won't last long. The sellers recently decided to move out of state, which is why the quick sale, after only purchasing last year.
