162 lake raponda

Enjoy the peaceful lake from this bright home located on the quiet south east shore of popular Lake Raponda whose clear water has beckoned swimmers and boaters since the late 19th century. The original house was built in the 1940's and one wing remains but the majority of the home was constructed by the current owner in 1987. There are expansive lake views from the open concept kitchen/dining area, the screened porch, the upstairs master bedroom and deck and of course from the lawn and front deck. All decks are new and constructed with Brazilian hardwoods. The soaring fieldstone fireplace that is open to both the kitchen/ dining area and the living room plus the two woodstoves encourage long relaxing stays at the lake. Use of the dock at the north end of property is shared with owners of 6 and 15 Red House Lane. The seller is a resident so taxes mentioned are the homestead rate; non-resident taxes would be approx. $12,750 for the tax year that began 7/1/19. The propane generator will power the home except for the laundry and electric range. There's an insulated and de-humidified crawl space plus an attached shed and carport. Watch for loons, eagles and herons and try your luck fishing for lake trout and perch. Vermont Fish and Game Dept. stocks the lake annually. Owner has measured depth of water at dock and says it's 2 feet deep.
