About This Home
Experience one of South Hero’s most remarkable lakefront settings on this rare 1.2-acre point with 570 feet of direct shoreline. The property captures sweeping southwest views over the Broad Lake toward Sawyer’s Island and the dramatic Adirondack Mountains beyond. Mature cedars and oaks frame the parcel, offering privacy and natural beauty, while the shoreline transitions from a sandy south-facing cove to impressive west-facing ledge rock perched on a bluff 12-14 ft feet above the lake—perfect for enjoying spectacular sunsets over crystal-clear water. The property currently includes a rustic 1930s cottage, an accessory cabin, and two outbuildings, all set within a tranquil landscape of mature trees. The main cottage systems and associated structures are all failing at this time and are likely beyond the point of being renovated. The property is state-permitted for a new three-bedroom, year-round residence and features an existing in-ground wastewater system, with a design in place for a future mound system. A drilled well on site provides water service. A South Hero Building Permit and VT Shoreland Protection Permit will be required for the construction of a new residence. Set among fine homes and cottages on South Hero’s coveted West Shore, this property offers the ideal opportunity to create a stunning lakefront retreat with unmatched panoramic views and a truly exceptional location.
