Welcome to a truly distinctive post & beam waterfront retreat on the shores of Crystal Lake. This remarkable property offers approximately 200 feet of frontage on one of Vermont's clearest and most sought-after lakes. Crystal Lake encompasses roughly 618 acres with depths approaching 100 feet and is renowned for its exceptional water quality, boating, fishing, swimming, and stunning natural beauty. Designed to maximize efficiency, views, and indoor-outdoor living, the structure features insulated metal panel walls and ceilings providing approximately R-40 walls and R-48 ceilings. The main level offers radiant heated polished concrete floors, soaring 12-foot ceilings, exposed post & beam construction, and an open-concept layout centered around a custom kitchen with granite countertops, oversized Thor gas range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and luxury finishes throughout. Two oversized glass overhead doors create a seamless connection between the interior and the waterfront setting, capturing commanding views of Crystal Lake and the dramatic ledges across the water. The bathroom features a large custom tile shower. The spacious second floor is currently configured as one large open room with spectacular lake views. However, the previous cottage was a 2 bedroom so at the asking price, the seller is willing to install a few walls and 2 doors to make it 2 formal bedrooms if desired. Outside, enjoy a level lakeside yard, easy access from South Barton Road, and a 30-foot dock included in the sale. Prior to closing, the seller will complete a new 42' x 12' composite deck overlooking the lake, remove excess fill on the north side of the home, and seed the lawn. A truly unique waterfront offering combining modern construction, exceptional energy efficiency, stunning craftsmanship, and one of Vermont's premier lakefront settings. Some photos have been AI enhanced and/or virtually staged to illustrate the property's potential when furnished and fully completed.
