Description

A singular property perched along 575' of owned Lake Champlain shoreline facing the Adirondack Mountains in Charlotte, Vermont. Offering a rare confluence of meadow, garden, forest, and waterfront, this private 9.6-acre estate embodies Vermont living at its most generous. The approach winds through perennial gardens and beneath full maples and across expansive lawns — a procession that sets the tone for what lies ahead. The main residence, clad in cedar shakes, settles into its surroundings of mature trees and native stone. Inside, exquisite cherry woodwork flows through floors, cabinetry, doors, and trim — a thread of warmth unifying every room. A generous chef's kitchen features a Wolf range, center island cooktop, wall oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, and dual sinks, framed by leaded glass windows. The adjoining Great Room opens southward under a vaulted ceiling with skylights. The Living Room is anchored by an antique pot belly stove and remarkable stained-glass windows that cast jeweled light through the room. Upstairs, a spacious primary suite offers a full bath, soaking tub, and balcony overlooking the lake and Adirondack peaks beyond. An ADU updated in 2023 with a kitchen and bath offers flexible living with a large studio/bedroom, wood finishes, and its own balcony and deck. Paths meander along the lengthy shoreline through woods abundant with native growth to a custom staircase descending to a shale beach and docks — ideal for swimming, kayaking or simply watching the light change on the water. The large front lawns and perennial gardens offer ever changing color throughout the seasons and are anchored by a greenhouse for year-round cultivation. A stand of towering conifers along the northeast boundary creates a quieter world unto itself, perfect for campfires and stargazing under Vermont skies. This is an enchanting property offering equal parts serenity, adventure, creation, and reflection — waiting for your exploration.
