Imagine ending your day with a sunset over Lake Champlain, the NY Mountains glowing across the water, and nothing but the sound of the breeze and waves nearby. Tucked away at the end of a privately used drive off Stevens Orchard Road, this charming lakeside retreat offers a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and easy access to everyday conveniences. Whether you're looking for a weekend escape from city life or a place to fully embrace Vermont's outdoor lifestyle, this property puts the lake at the center of the experience. Spend your days boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, waterskiing, or simply relaxing on the spacious deck watching eagles and osprey soar overhead. The setting feels wonderfully removed from the demands of everyday life, yet downtown Middlebury, with its shops, restaurants, and grocery stores, is just 25 minutes away. Inside, the home is comfortable, welcoming, and unpretentious. The open kitchen and living area is designed for gathering, with a wood-burning stove creating a cozy focal point for cooler evenings. Large windows frame beautiful views of Lake Champlain and the New York shoreline, ensuring the water is never far from sight. Whether you're seeking adventure on the lake, a peaceful place to recharge, or a little of both, this is the kind of property that makes it easy to slow down and savor every season. A special lakeside getaway with a setting that's increasingly hard to find.
