10.5 Wooded Acres Near Jay Peak, Rustic 1981 Cabin Included — $140,000

The 10.5 acres are the story here. All of it wooded, all of it private, in Montgomery, Vermont, close enough to Jay Peak Resort that it works as a base for ski season and surrounded by trails for snowmobiling, ATVs, hiking, and hunting the rest of the year. If you wanted to buy land in this part of Vermont and get a structure on it too, this is a reasonable way to do it.

The cabin is 784 square feet, built in 1981. One room downstairs with a kitchen and living area together, and a sleeping loft above. No bathroom listed. That gap in the listing data is worth asking about before you get too far down the road. The cabin has a fireplace and a storage shed outside for gear.

There are no interior photos to describe, so the honest answer is you're buying on the land and location more than the building. The agent description calls the loft spacious, which is a word agents use, and the square footage is what it is. A loft inside 784 square feet is going to be tight. That can work fine for a hunting camp or a ski weekend base, but it is a small space.

What the property does have is real: 10.5 wooded acres in a part of Vermont that people specifically seek out for outdoor recreation. The trail network around Montgomery is genuine and connects to a wide range of activity depending on the season. Jay Peak is a short drive. The Deep Gibou Road address puts you in the hills, which means the seclusion the listing promises is probably accurate.

At $140,000 for this much land with a structure already on it in northern Vermont, the math is not hard to understand. You would spend more than that buying raw land in comparable areas and still have to build something. Whether the cabin is livable as-is or needs significant work is the question the listing does not answer. Go look at it in person before you decide anything.
