About this property

Private Lakefront Retreat With Mt. Views On 10 Acres With Scenic Walking Trails

This family friendly home is located 50 feet above the Lake Champlain Waterfront with meandering scenic trails down to the shore. A shallow sand bar lines the bay that we share with the MIssisquoi Wildlife Refuge which makes this place perfect for daily sightings of wildlife from blue herons, egrets, bald eagles, hawks, ducks, geese, owls and more.

This is a great vacation destination located right on the border of Quebec and Vermont. While you're here you'll be able to kayak on the water, walk the trails, enjoy a fire on the lake-shore, bike the surrounding countryside, or fish on the Rock River (with an access ramp 2 min away). Vermont also boasts many other local attractions. Year round hiking trails for all levels will only be a short drive away, there are also local festivals during different seasons, winery's and breweries to visit, and numerous restaurants to enjoy.

The home is a 45 min drive Burlington, VT, or a 1 hour drive just over the border to Montreal, QC. You'll find find Jay Peak, Smugglers Notch and Bromont Ski Areas within a 40 mile radius of the house. And it is minutes away from the acclaimed Tyler Place Resort.

From the many large windows from the house you'll see amazing views of the neighboring wildlife refuge across the bay with the Adirondack Mountains in the background. The home can accommodate 11 people in the 3 bedrooms. The first floor bedroom has 2 queen beds with its own bath. The Spacious master bedroom on the second floor has a King bed with attached bath. The third floor bunk room has a twin over full bunk bed and two twin beds.

The home boasts a 2nd floor great room with a 2 story brick fireplace, an overlooking balcony, large windows with comfortable furniture to relax, read, play a game or enjoy a movie with the family. As you enter the home there is a cozy living room with wood stove, galley kitchen and spacious dining room. Off the dining room is a fully glassed in sun porch which allows you to appreciate the 180 degree view of its natural surroundings.
