Description

Remember all the time you've searched for a Lake Champlain west facing vacation get-away cottage with shale beach, Adirondack mountain views and slab rocks for easy lake access? Well this property offers it all plus 300 feet of lakefront and 1.3 acres that could be a terrific year round build site. Currently a three-season cottage with a large living and dining area and cozy kitchen that has all the charm of a vintage lake cottage. The owners love this cottage and it shows! They successfully rent...Remember all the time you've searched for a Lake Champlain west facing vacation get-away cottage with shale beach, Adirondack mountain views and slab rocks for easy lake access? Well this property offers it all plus 300 feet of lakefront and 1.3 acres that could be a terrific year round build site. Currently a three-season cottage with a large living and dining area and cozy kitchen that has all the charm of a vintage lake cottage. The owners love this cottage and it shows! They successfully rent it on Air B&B in between their own quiet time on the lake. 4 bedrooms upstairs, 3/4 rustic but fun bathroom! on the first floor. The cottage is tucked away on a elongated 1.3 acres that feels much larger with old growth trees and wonderful cedars. The views are big western views from the entire 300 feet. There are two out buildings: a clever storage shed that could be a fun bunk house for kids and a storage garage that is currently under renovation/construction. The beach accessed by stairs is comprised of loose shale rock and large slab rock for easy entry into the water Docks are included in the sale. The town road is paved and the cottage or future house site is set off the road. Surrounding properties sell over $1M therefore a smart location to build. Town Water is connected to the cottage. An easy 35 minute drive from Burlington Vermont and fun access to countless Champlain Island activities and restaurants. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
