Property Description

An oasis in itself, this private lake retreat offers a rare sense of seclusion while remaining close to restaurants, shops, and everyday conveniences. Set on nearly 17 acres, the property enjoys sweeping lake and Adirondack views, mature trees and gardens, stacked stone walls, lakeside decks for sunset evenings, and easy access to the stone beach and waterfront, where a dock was in place in years past. Thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and quiet retreat, the setting feels timeless, welcoming, and deeply connected to the landscape. The classic residence offers 2,434 square feet with painted clapboard siding, a shingle roof, expansive lake-facing rooms, and a generous front deck. Outdoor living features include an in-ground pool with newer resurfacing, gated enclosure, pool shed, stone patio, established gardens, and exceptional bird and wildlife viewing, including eagles and osprey. Flexible accommodations include two separate two-bedroom guest suites connected by open breezeways, creating privacy and comfort for visitors, with breathtaking views from the main bedrooms in each suite. Additional amenities include a finished room above the heated garage with full bath, ideal for guests or a home office, along with workshop space, potting shed, and greenhouse. Designed for relaxed lakeside living, the residence features a light-filled kitchen with views to the water, French doors opening to the deck, a formal living room with two gas fireplaces, and a sunroom wrapped in windows. The primary suite faces the lake, while guest accommodations, poolside gathering spaces, garden paths, a fenced vegetable garden with raised beds, and waterfront access create a property equally suited for entertaining or peaceful everyday living. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the bridge to New York, 10 minutes from the historic Vermont town of Vergennes, and 30 minutes from Middlebury, both known for their excellent restaurants, shops, and quintessential Vermont charm.
