About This Home

Private Vermont Camp on 14.6 Acres – 651 Hennessey Road, Bakersfield, VT Escape to your own private Vermont retreat at 651 Hennessey Road in Bakersfield. Situated on approximately 14.6 acres of wooded land in Franklin County, this spacious seasonal camp of 840 square feet offers peace, privacy, and direct access to Vermont’s outdoor lifestyle. The camp, built in 2015 with many new improvements, is larger than many comparable properties in the area and sits on beautiful acreage ideal for hunting, snowmobiling, hiking, or simply unplugging and enjoying nature. Whether you’re looking for a recreational getaway or a quiet place to recharge, this property offers space and seclusion that’s hard to find at this price point. The setting is remote and tranquil, yet still within driving distance to local amenities. A rare opportunity to own a sizable parcel with an established camp in place. Located off a private road maintained by the owner and two neighboring properties, the camp is accessible by car most months of the year. During heavier snow months (typically January, February, and occasionally into March), vehicle access may be limited, but the property remains easily accessible by foot — making it a true four-season recreational escape. A right-of-way provides access to Boston Post Road in Bakersfield, while still maintaining the privacy and quiet you want in a wilderness retreat. ________________________________________ Utilities & Off-Grid Systems • No electricity (generator-powered system) • Rechargeable cold-weather gel batteries charged by on-site generator • Generator shed • Three large gas tanks (fueling heater and appliances) • Gas heater • Wood stove with large supply of stacked firewood ready to use • Satellite internet (HughesNet) • Gas refrigerator • Gas stove • Low-voltage microwave Water is collected from a nearby stream and stored in on-site water storage units.
