About this home

Welcome home to your very own 12+ acre lakefront oasis! Set on a tremendously private parcel complete with 600+ feet of lake frontage, this unique Benson property offers the perfect combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Follow the wooded walkway down to the shores of Lake Champlain, where days can be spent fishing, kayaking, boating, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting. Surrounded by abundant wildlife and beautiful natural surroundings, this is the kind of property where you can truly slow down, explore, and appreciate everything Vermont has to offer. The inviting 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features natural woodwork throughout, bringing warmth and rustic charm to the living spaces. A wraparound deck provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, relax after a day on the water, or take in the sights and sounds of nature. An oversized barn/detached garage adds exceptional versatility, featuring a spacious workshop, tack room, two stalls, chicken coop, and plenty of storage for equipment, recreational gear, and outdoor hobbies. Beyond the property, Benson is a haven for outdoor recreation! Explore the hiking trails at Shaw Mountain Natural Area, enjoy wildlife watching and outdoor adventures at Pond Woods Wildlife Management Area, or discover additional boating, fishing, and swimming opportunities at Sunset Lake and nearby Lake Bomoseen. Snowmobile enthusiasts will appreciate the VAST trail network running through Benson, while the surrounding region offers even more opportunities for hiking, biking, and year-round adventure. With enough work to do to make it your own, but not enough to make it an overwhelming project, this is one you don't want to miss! Whether you're searching for a year-round home, a recreational getaway, or your own slice of VT waterfront paradise, this property is ready for you!
