About this property
Escape to this secluded, seasonal off-grid cape-style cabin in Albany, VT, situated on 11.08+/- wooded acres with a 0.75+/- acre open yard. Located in the picturesque Northeast Kingdom, this 1990-built, 1652-square-foot retreat sits privately on a quiet knoll, offering two bedrooms (including a loft), a full bath, and soaring cathedral ceilings. A cozy Jotul woodstove on a stunning stone hearth anchors the expansive great room, while an almost 30-foot sunroom, pine interior, and second-floor storage loft add rustic charm. The home features essential off-grid systems, including a drilled well, septic, 110v generator power, propane tankless hot water, and a concrete slab foundation. Sellers completed recent cleanups and repairs this spring to ensure all systems are fully operational. Accessed via a gentle 600-foot driveway off Daniels Road West (a Class IV, unmaintained road), this retreat is best reached by AWD vehicles, with neighbors traditionally keeping the road accessible to within 2000 feet of the cabin during the winter. Mountain views just peak out and can be improved with clearing. Enjoy hunting and shooting on your own land. For the fisherman, the cabin is located in a town known for stunning waterbodies like Great Hosmer, Hartwell, Page, and Heart Ponds plus you are also just minutes from the world-renowned Craftsbury Outdoor Center, offering miles of cross-country skiing, biking, and running trails.

Questions to ask before you buy
Good questions for any home near the slopes.
- How is the property reached in winter, and who plows the road and driveway?A short straight-line distance can still mean a long or seasonal drive. Private roads, gates and mountain passes all shape winter access.
- Is there documented ski access from the property (trail, easement, lift), and does it transfer to a buyer?Rights to cross neighboring land or use a lift come from recorded easements and agreements, so a ski-in or ski-out description is where the question starts.
- Are there association, resort or club fees, and what do they cover?Some ski-area communities charge fees that cover only certain amenities, so ask what lift tickets, passes and services are included.
- Are there rules on renting the home short-term or long-term?Local ordinances, association covenants and deed restrictions all set rental rules, and they differ from place to place.
- What do heating, snow removal, winterization and utilities cost over a season?Ownership costs in snow country often run higher than the mortgage estimate suggests.
- For land: is there legal year-round access, and what utilities, septic and building rules apply?Seasonal roads and steep lots can limit what can be built and when it can be reached.
