Gateway to Lake Champlain: 50 ACRES OF WATERFRONT PRIVACY AND ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES At the dead-end of a quiet country road lined with historic Vermont farmsteads, you’ll discover a property that feels as though you’ve stepped back in time. As the road comes to an end, so does the outside world, giving way to an extraordinary 50-acre retreat where rolling meadows, wooded surroundings, and extensive Lake Champlain frontage create a truly unforgettable setting. Stretching from open fields to the southern reaches of the Lake, this remarkable property, which abuts almost 4000 acres of conserved land, offers the rare combination of privacy, waterfront access, and exceptional agricultural potential. The land features a beautiful blend of rolling and level meadows, with tillable acreage currently in hay and ideally suited for a variety of farming, equestrian, or recreational pursuits. The extensive lake frontage provides your own private gateway to one of the Northeast’s most treasured natural resources, with the potential to build a dock and harbor a boat for easy access to endless days of boating, fishing, paddling, and lakeside enjoyment. Adding to the property’s appeal is a rustic outbuilding/cabin complete with electricity, the perfect space for a workshop, weekend retreat, hunting camp, or comfortable base while you design and build your dream home (2 septic sites have been identified, test pits done demonstrating suitable soils - report will be available. ) Whether you’re envisioning a working farm, a private waterfront estate, or a peaceful escape surrounded by nature, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special at the edge of Vermont and the shores of magnificent Lake Champlain.
