It’s rare to find a home for under $300,000 that isn’t a total fixer-upper, and even less common to find one as cozy as this southern Vermont cabin.
With two bedrooms and two baths, significant acreage, and a prized location, it’s no wonder the property at 946 Hucklehill Road was snatched up so quickly. After just nine days on the market, the 1975 cabin, listed with Mike Masters, is already marked as contingent.
The rustic retreat sits on just over five acres of wooded land, and is a mere 10 minutes from the vibrant arts scene and classic New England landscapes of Brattleboro. Priced at $299,000, the home offers approximately 1,568 square feet of living space along with a flexible sleeping loft— an appealing layout for an office space or hosting guests.
Inside, the home embraces classic cabin aesthetics, with warm wood finishes and an open-concept living area centered around a wood-burning stove. Large windows invite natural light in, while also framing peaceful views of the surrounding landscape—further enhancing the feeling of being tucked away in nature while still within reach of town.
The true standout feature, however, is in the kitchen, where a vintage-style cooking stove adds a nostalgic character. It serves as both a functional cooking feature and a visual centerpiece, lending the space a timeless, old-world Vermont feel. Modern appliances are also included throughout the kitchen and home, offering everyday convenience to complements the vintage charm.
Originally built in 1975, the two-story residence also includes a one-car garage and the kind of privacy buyers often seek in New England. The expansive lot features a mix of open and wooded areas, providing space for gardening, or simply enjoying the natural setting of the property.
Hundreds of hiking trails winding through the region’s scenic landscape are also within reach, as is the bustling hub of Brattleboro.
This proximity makes grocery runs or dinner dates easy, while still allowing for relatively quick commutes to other urban destinations further afield in New Hampshire or Massachusetts.
Even with its current contingent status, the property serves as a reminder that if you get lucky, charming homes with acreage can still be found at approachable price points in New England.
