About this home

Motivated seller! Price Improved! Come explore this rare find designed for easy lakeside living without the waterfront price and taxes.This charming log cabin is located on a private 2-acre lot that includes access to Messer Pond, just a short stroll to the private beach where you can enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply relaxing by the water watching wildlife. The property features private wooded acreage with an open lawn surrounding the home. The interior boasts tongue-and-groove natural pine, massive beams, large windows, and cathedral ceilings in the main living space. The semi-open concept floor plan includes a dining area, kitchen, and a living room centered around a cozy wood stove fireplace. This energy-efficient cabin is the perfect place to warm up after a day in the snow. The updated kitchen comes complete with oak cabinets, Bosch appliances, and new countertops.

In the winter, you are just a five-minute drive to the first chair at Vail Mt. Sunapee resort, or a short trip to local breakfast spots in New London. Whether you are looking for a full-time home or a rental property to offset expenses, the options are endless. This property is ready for its next chapter. A rare opportunity in a prime location!
