Description

There's no better spot for enjoying Lake Champlain than here at this spectacularly-sited seasonal 4-bedroom, two-story historic cottage that’s perched on the tip of Coates Island. The delightful sleeping porch on the first floor is just a few feet from the water’s edge. Heaven! Imagine being lulled to sleep by the sound of lapping waves and awaking to see water all around you.. Step onto the large and breezy enclosed wraparound screened porch for stunning 270 degree views. Take a few steps down to...There's no better spot for enjoying Lake Champlain than here at this spectacularly-sited seasonal 4-bedroom, two-story historic cottage that’s perched on the tip of Coates Island. The delightful sleeping porch on the first floor is just a few feet from the water’s edge. Heaven! Imagine being lulled to sleep by the sound of lapping waves and awaking to see water all around you.. Step onto the large and breezy enclosed wraparound screened porch for stunning 270 degree views. Take a few steps down to the deck that overhangs the water to watch a glorious sunrise over Mount Mansfield. Relax on the porch swing or enjoy quiet time by the huge fireplace in the living room while taking in the lake views. Inside and outside showers, mooring and dock possibilities, wildlife including loons, otters, osprey, eagles, turtles, night herons and more... endless natural summer adventures. This 100-year-old cottage is nestled into the cedars, so it’s very private, and feels timeless. You’ll have access to a private sandy beach and to the network of island trails. Coates Island is one of the area’s best kept secrets. It’s secluded and very peaceful, and yet is only a 15 min drive to downtown Burlington and to the Burlington airport. A simply magical find! Leased land. No drive-bys please, the cottage is not visible from the private road. The cottage is right at the tip of the peninsula though, so you’re welcome to view the cottage from the water. “Paddle-bys” are encouraged!
