Property Description
TURN-KEY FURNISHED! OWNED LAND! PRIVATE, CONCRETE DOCK! EXPANSIVE SOUTHERN VIEWS! Lake Carmi living without the hassle of a long dirt road or a dock that takes effort to reach. This three bedroom, two bath seasonal home sits right on the water with easy, year-round access, the kind that makes weekend trips simple and short-term guests happy. The main level opens toward the lake with expansive southern views through double sliding glass doors, filling the living space with natural light. Exposed live edge beams bring the wilderness of Vermont inside as you gather after a day on the water. The screened-in porch is built for summer, morning coffee, long dinners, or watching the sunset over the lake. Three comfortable bedrooms are located on the second floor along with a half bath, with plentiful windows for lake views and cool night breezes. Outside, a private concrete dock puts you right on the water for boating, swimming, and fishing, with 7.5 miles of shoreline to explore. The property sits on owned land, a meaningful distinction on Lake Carmi where leased lots are common and add long-term uncertainty. Lake Carmi has seen blue-green algae in past years, and ongoing alum treatments have been effective in keeping the water clear and swimmable. The lake's significant peat bog draws in wildlife, and the birdwatching here is some of the best in Northern Vermont. For anglers, Lake Carmi is known for walleye, northern pike, and bass right off your dock. The property has operated as a successful short term rental and comes fully furnished, offering flexibility for personal use, rental income, or both. If you want lakefront living that's easy to get to and easy to enjoy, this is your chance to join one of Franklin County's most loved waterfront communities.
