Tucked away on 16 wooded acres in the quiet hills of Athens, Vermont, this unique property offers the kind of peace that’s getting harder to find. At its center is a simple, charming cabin with an open floor plan and vaulted ceiling, set just above a beaver pond that draws in wildlife and reflects the changing sky. It’s quiet here—really quiet. The kind of place where time slows down and the natural world takes the lead. The land is a mix of hardwoods and evergreens with plenty of space for trails, gardening, or just wandering. The cabin is rustic but comfortable, with electricity and an inviting layout that opens to the outdoors. Whether you’re an artist looking for inspiration, a writer seeking solitude, or someone who just wants to unplug for a while, this spot offers a rare blend of simplicity and beauty. As Thoreau put it, “A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature.” The pond here is just that—calm, steady, and always changing. If you’re ready for quiet days and star-filled nights, this place is ready for you.
