About this home
Set on 48 acres with a private pond and miles of trails, this Charleston property delivers the full Northeast Kingdom lifestyle. The 3 bedroom home has been meticulously cared for, with recent updates including new floors, new windows, kitchen improvements, and a newer furnace—giving buyers peace of mind and move in comfort. The open floor plan is ideal for gatherings, complemented by 3 bathrooms, a finished basement, and a partially finished studio apartment above the garage that’s perfect for guests, rental potential, or extra space to spread out. The land includes a greenhouse and a classic sugarshack, along with a friendly agreement that allows a local producer to tap the maple trees without adding work for the homeowner. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate direct access to the snowmobile trail system right from the property. Located just minutes from Lake Willoughby, a short drive to Newport’s shopping, dining, and Lake Memphremagog, and conveniently positioned between Jay Peak and Burke Mountain for world class skiing, this is a rare opportunity to own a versatile, four season retreat offering privacy, recreation, and true Vermont character.
