1372 Mud Pond Road, Thetford, VT 05075

Hidden off of the end of a quiet dirt road in Thetford, Vermont is a rare and private wilderness on 201.28 surveyed acres. At the heart of the land are three large ponds, each flowing one into the other south to north. The ponds are fed by mountain streams which originate on the property. Each pond supports an abundance of aquatic life including perch, trout, turtles and salamanders. They are completely private and ideal for swimming, fishing, and paddling. The ponds are framed by old-growth forest—towering hemlocks, maples, and yellow birches—and a mosaic of moss-covered ledges, fern-filled valleys and hilltops one of which offers long-range cascading views of Mount Ascutney. There are 2 log cabins located almost a mile in from the south entrance and accessed via a private gravel road that winds through the beautiful and rugged terrain. The first overlooks the south pond. It is a full-scribe Swedish cope log cabin, built by renowned craftsman John Nininger of The Wooden House Company. The second overlooks the middle pond. Hiking trails and remnants of old logging roads wind throughout the property. Wildlife thrives here: owls call from treetops, deer and bear move quietly through the forest, and bobcats slip along rocky outcrops. A perfect evening is listening to the sounds of nature as a full moon rises over the mountain and reflects across the pond. Wild and serene, this is a secret one-of-a-kind oasis where forest, water, and sky meet in perfect harmony. Broker Owned.
