A rare opportunity for true year-round enjoyment. This is a remarkable chance to own a home on a motorboat lake - with a private dock - just minutes from both the Mount Snow and Hermitage Club ski resorts, hiking, biking, and snowmobile trails, and the charming village of Wilmington, Vermont. Lake Raponda stands apart from the other lakes in the area in one important way: because larger boats tend to head for the public-access Harriman Reservoir on the southern end of Wilmington, Raponda remains a predominantly owner-enjoyed lake. The result is noticeably less boat noise and wake, making it equally wonderful for kayaking, paddleboarding, and peaceful summer mornings on the water. The property sits on a generous, nicely sized parcel with sweeping level lawn space, a private yard with fire pit, ample parking, kayak racks, and a private dock - which transforms into an ice skating destination come winter. Inside the fully remodeled and expanded vintage four-bedroom, four-bath lake house, an open-concept floor plan invites you in with warm wood floors throughout, a living room anchored by a wood-burning stove set in a stone hearth, and a well-appointed kitchen with stainless appliances and island. A relaxing entertainment area with full bath flows into the heated sunroom addition, with expansive windows framing the lake views and opening onto a wraparound deck. A generous mudroom entry handles gear for every season with ease. Upstairs, the primary suite offers wonderful natural light and a luxurious bath, alongside three spacious guest bedrooms, two additional full baths, custom built-in storage, and a lovely office space. The practical upgrades here are just as impressive: efficient mini-split heating and air conditioning, an attached garage for gear storage, an updated septic system, and a private driveway with ample parking. All of it recently completed, the home is completely turnkey - so all you'll have to worry about is downtime, not upkeep.
