Main House
The spectacular main home of this Lake Champlain estate is the true gem of the property with its placement at the far end of the peninsula.

These well placed windows highlight the spacious living room which also features vaulted ceilings and a wood stove fireplace perfect for staying cozy and warm during chilly fall and winter months. A screen built into the living room window preserves the aesthetic of the room while also providing ample screen for TV viewing to enjoy your favorite shows.
Just off the living room, an octagonal dining room offers one of the most expansive lake views on this Lake Champlain estate. Featuring a vaulted ceiling, custom twig work chandelier and over 180 degrees of windows, this unforgettable dining room allows diners to feel like they are sitting right next to the lake. The views continue into the kitchen, so cooking is also a great opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
For anyone who enjoys cooking, the experience this kitchen delivers is exceptional. While the views are fabulous, the layout and appliances are even more outstanding. This kitchen is equipped with first-rate Wolf, Sub Zero and Cove appliances that are showcased by custom fir cabinetry. Ample storage for staples and supplies are provided by a walk-in larder and walk-in pantry.
The great room fireplace is double-sided with the opposite side acting as a focal point in the primary suite. This suite offers two walk-in closets and french doors leading out to the wraparound deck. An en-suite spa style bathroom features a claw foot tub and stunning views.

When used as an apartment or to house guests, this space is perfect for visitors wanting additional privacy.
The upper level landing welcomes guests with a custom wood work railing that overlooks the great room as well as a round window overlooking the lake and mountains. This area is spacious enough t0 be used as a billiards room or a workout area. This level also offers a bedroom, full bathroom and an office.
Guest House
Just behind the main home, a timber-framed guest cottage and barn offer additional space for guests. This guest cottage provides over 1,700 square feet of additional living space. The space upstairs provides 2 additional bedrooms, a living room, a kitchenette, vaulted ceilings, a full bathroom and a deck with views of Lake Champlain. The lower level offers two bays for vehicle storage or a workshop and has a Level 2 EV Charger for electric vehicles.
Grounds
The grounds offer plenty of privacy with much of the shoreline on the sides of the peninsula remaining tree covered. While this property is private and out of the way, it still offers easy access to town. A short 5-minute walk to downtown shops, restaurants and the Essex Ferry makes it easy to run errands or take a trip over to Vermont.
To enjoy 800 feet of waterfront on this Lake Champlain estate, this property has a large dock. Hop in your boat to explore everything Lake Champlain has to offer including trophy fish hunting, relaxing on the water or taking a trip “across the pond” to enjoy Vermont. Swimming is also super easy as the dock is equipped with a ladder to access the water.
Additionally, the grounds has a fenced in area where there are currently two Alpaca roaming around. One last distinguishing detail of the grounds is the many stones that can be found throughout the property, many of which are fossil laden!
