43 Idlewild Rd, South Hero, VT 05486
About this home
From the moment that you arrive all your thoughts and cares will drift away! This beachfront is all about the Private Cove! It is spectacular! When you are on the beach there is no other home in site! Amazing sense of privacy! Kayak, canoe or have your boat right there! This is the Inland Sea at its best. The east facing lot is sited at the end of Idlewild on 525 feet of Lake Champlain frontage, very rare indeed. A short walk up the meandering path and you will find an existing cottage and tiny “honeymoon cottage” in original condition. There is also a lake water pump house. All of the buildings will need TLC, and they are being sold as is.
