1462 Lake Road

About this home

With west-facing views across Lake Champlain to the Adirondack Mountains, extensive lake frontage, and approximately 4,100 square feet of living space, 1462 Lake Road is an exceptional waterfront retreat set on nearly 17 private acres. The property offers direct access to Lake Champlain for swimming, boating, fishing, and days on the water. Stairs to the beach provide convenient shoreline access, and the property can accommodate both a dock and mooring. Inside, lake and mountain views take center stage from the moment you enter. The dramatic living room features 12-foot-plus ceilings, two fireplaces, and a wall of west-facing glass doors framing the Adirondacks beyond. The spacious kitchen opens to an inviting breakfast and family room, creating a comfortable gathering space at the heart of the home. The primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, while two separate two-bedroom guest suites, connected to the main residence by breezeways, provide privacy for family and guests. A flexible second-floor room above the garage is ideal for an office, studio, or additional guest space. Outdoors, beautifully maintained perennial gardens surround the home, complemented by a gunite pool, greenhouse, enclosed garden with raised beds, and expansive lawns leading toward the lake. A long, cedar-lined drive creates a wonderful sense of arrival and enhances the privacy of the property. Morning coffee might be accompanied by bald eagles and osprey overhead, while evenings bring Adirondack sunsets, time on the deck, and the unmistakable call of loons across the water. Despite its private setting, the property is within an easy 20- to 30-minute drive of Middlebury and Vergennes, with convenient access to restaurants, shopping, theater, golf, medical services, and other area amenities. With five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, 1462 Lake Road offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation, generous accommodations, and a remarkable connection to Lake Champlain.
