About this home
Spectacular Colchester Lakefront! Breathtaking views over Malletts Bay and the distant Adirondack Mountains are the highlight of this west facing lakefront property. A close second are the handmade stone stairs leading over a small stream and gently down to 370 feet of owned lake frontage. There you'll find a pebble patio perched by the water's edge and tucked under a magnificent cliff face. It's the perfect place to watch sailboats drift by on a hot Summer afternoon. The landscaped yard near the existing structure is flat with handmade stone walls and a large stone patio. The space is perfect for entertaining friends and family with views of the sunset from nearly every part of the lawn. The property's 4.5 acres offer plenty of privacy, yet it's not isolated. Located at the end of a dead end street, there are a handful of neighbors nearby (although none are visible from the property), and it's a quick 20 minute drive to downtown Burlington. The house itself is a blank canvas ready to be renovated into a modest lakefront home. Or tear down the original structure and use the existing utilities to build your dream home on this one-of-a-kind lot. Small artist's studio is a great bonus space. Close to I-89, UVM Medical Center, and minutes to eateries. Don't miss this unique opportunity!

Remarkable west facing Lake Champlain property with custom hand-built stone stairs to the private lakefront patio area. You will be amazed when you see the stunning hand-built stone walls, wonderful paths to more lakefront destinations on this property. This area on Lake Champlain is a secret and private yet 20 minutes to downtown Burlington Vermont. 370 feet of lakefront & 4.5 acres with cove, private patio on the south side and large slab rocks on the north side for great swimming. West facing sunsets over Mallet's Bay. The owner had planned to renovated the house or tear it down and build new. Liz Hermann architect drawings for a renovation are terrific. Red House Construction (one of the best in the area) have been on site and can meet buyers regarding renovations. The existing house has west facing views and is partially prepped for renovation. The "Artists Cottage" could be a fun studio. Sunset View Road is a private road surrounded by common land as you drive through to Moonlight Ridge. Old growth trees and cedars create a wonderful site.
