2036 Vt Route 30Jamaica, VT 05343Price: $57,000

Own your own piece of the West River. This 2-bedroom, 1-bath seasonal home sits on a level lot in a quiet Jamaica, Vermont park with direct river access. Morning coffee on the back deck, afternoons at the riverside sitting platform, and evenings by the wood stove make it an easy Southern Vermont escape for anglers, paddlers, skiers, and anyone who wants a low-cost base in the Green Mountains. Inside, 844 square feet of single-level living centers on an upgraded cherry and tile kitchen with plenty of room to cook together after a day outdoors. A wood stove supplements the electric heat, and the roof is metal and shingle. Cable and phone are available, with a private sewer and dirt parking off Route 30. The location is the draw. Jamaica State Park, the West River Trail, and the river's famous whitewater release weekends are close by. In winter, Stratton Mountain, Bromley, Magic Mountain, and Mount Snow are all within a short drive for skiing and snowboarding. Townshend State Park, Townshend Lake, hiking, swimming holes, fly fishing, leaf-peeping, and classic Vermont villages round out the seasons. Annual property taxes are about $450, which keeps carrying costs low for a second home, ski cabin, or vacation property. Occupancy is limited to six months per year, and new owners must be approved by the park. This is a leased lot. A rare chance to own affordable riverfront in Windham County
