Off-Grid Vermont Camp on ATV/Snowmobile Trail with Bunkhouse — $135,000

The trail runs right past the property. For snowmobilers and ATV riders, that's the whole story, and everything else is a bonus. Canaan sits in the Northeast Kingdom, and this is a working recreational camp built around access to that trail system.

The main camp is 540 square feet, built in 2006. There's a kitchenette, a living room, and a bedroom with fold-down bunks. It's small, and it's supposed to be. The separate bunkhouse handles the overflow with two sets of bunk beds, which is how the place gets to sleeping 8 to 10 people. That's a lot of bodies for a small footprint, but that's the math when you're splitting a trail camp among a group.

There's also an 8x8 workshop for gear storage. Off-grid means exactly that. The well is hand-pumped and not plumbed into the camp itself, so you're hauling water. The roof is two years old. Owners have planted some oak trees on the lot.

A small stream winds through the property and crosses the lot. There's a private path leading down to it. The agent description calls it waterfront, and while a stream crossing a lot is a stretch from lake frontage, it's still a nice thing to have. Moving water on a piece of land changes how it feels.

The road is town-maintained, so you can get in even if you're not on a sled. The camp is off-grid otherwise. No public utilities, no plumbing in the traditional sense. That's a real consideration if you're thinking about extending the season or bringing someone who doesn't already know what they're signing up for.

At $135,000 this is a straightforward trail camp. It does the thing it's meant to do. If snowmobiling and ATV riding in the Northeast Kingdom are how you want to spend your winters and your shoulder seasons, the location does most of the work for you.
