926 Center Pond RD Newark, VT 05871

A little camp on Center Pond, where the setting feels so much bigger than the footprint. Set along the shoreline in Newark, this cozy waterfront camp has a simplicity that feels just right for days spent by the water. Inside, whitewashed pine gives the space a bright, warm character, with an open living room and kitchen creating an easy place to gather. A bedroom is located upstairs, while a half bath with a composting toilet adds convenience. But the favorite spot may very well be the enclosed porch overlooking the pond, where the water is always part of the view. Just beyond, an open deck leads to just enough yard space and lovely waterfrontage, keeping everything you came here for close at hand. Center Pond is part of what makes this spot so appealing. At approximately 80 acres, it has an intimate feel, yet reaches a surprising maximum depth of about 72 feet. Its cold waters are home to brook and lake trout, and the pond has a Vermont Fish & Wildlife access area for getting out on the water. The surrounding Newark area only adds to the experience, with large stretches of forest and conserved land, nearby Bald Hill Wildlife Management Area, and plenty of opportunities for hiking, paddling, fishing, and wildlife watching. Lake Willoughby and the recreation around Burke are also within easy reach. It's not a complicated place, and maybe that's part of the magic. A camp, the water, the woods, and a little corner of Vermont that somehow feels like so much more.
