A once-in-a-generation opportunity on the shores of Lake Champlain. Encompassing approximately 26 acres with an extraordinary 2,283 feet of lake frontage, Malletts Head represents the largest tract of undeveloped lakeshore land in Colchester. Perched high above Marble Island, the property offers commanding panoramic views across Lake Champlain and Malletts Bay to the Green Mountains, with spectacular sunsets over the Adirondacks. This extraordinary property encompasses approximately 26 acres and an impressive 2,283 feet of waterfront. At its highest point, known as “Pirate’s Lookout, ” panoramic views stretch across Lake Champlain and Malletts Bay to the Green Mountains, while the Adirondacks provide a spectacular backdrop for evening sunsets. A private road provides access from the Marble Island Resort development, and the property offers potential for up to five building lots. Create a secluded lakefront estate, an extraordinary family compound, or explore additional possibilities with Town approval. Power, municipal water and cable are available at the street, and a septic location was previously identified. Deeded access to the Marble Island beach and amenities, including convenient winter boat storage, further enhances this truly exceptional property. This isn’t simply a parcel of land—it’s an opportunity to create something remarkable on one of Lake Champlain’s most impressive undeveloped properties.
Malletts Bay, located between Colchester Point and the Winooski River delta, is a lakeside and residential Burlington neighborhood with a working-marina shoreline and pocket beaches. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Malletts Bay Boat Club and the adjacent causeway path, where sail masts, launch ramps, and shoreline walkers set the tempo. Low-slung lake cottages mix with newer townhomes on curving roads that follow the bay’s coves. Bayside Park frames daily routines with a boat launch, picnic lawns, and long lake views. The vibe stays outdoorsy, with paddlesports and sunset watching shaping the calendar. Nearby, the Winooski Causeway adds a long, linear promenade across open water.
