About this home
Singing Cedars Cottage was constructed by Professor Lawrence Hill of Ithica College in Orwell Vermont in 1935 for his wife and him. Professor Hill was a pioneer in Physical Education. He erected Singing Cedars camp for young adult college athletes in Orwell in the 1920s. In alternating sessions young woman and men would practice their sport on the shores of Lake Champlain. He was an advocate of “fresh air and physical activity”. The name Singing Cedars comes from the sound that the trees make when they rub together, and it makes it sound like they are singing. This cottage has been in the same family for 70 years and has been haven for family and friends to enjoy the lake and celebrate good times together. This sweet Adirondack home offers extreme privacy with 200 feet of direct Lake Champlain frontage, perfect for fishing, swimming & boating. Watch the bald eagles & osprey overhead along with a chance to observe the turtle migration in the spring & fall. Be prepared to marvel at the breathtaking sunsets. The open living room reveals warm wood tones, stone fireplace w. wood stove, and walks right out to the over sized screen porch, where numerous hours will be enjoyed. This little hidden secret can accommodate large gatherings along with numerous options for sleeping. This wonderful Vermont home is being sold furnished with the exception of some personal items, making it practically a turn key home waiting for your arrival. $400/yr for road maintenance. Sweet!
