63 West Shore RD South Hero, VT 05486

Your first impression as you approach this island property is that of quintessential Vermont; privacy, land, community and recreation are just the start. Breaking out into the open once you've left the hustle of close-by Burlington, driving past neighboring estates and farms, you arrive with a sense of your proximity to the shores of Lake Champlain – just a 5-minute stroll to Whites beach. This family home sits back from the road with its huge yards, a pond, a horse barn, and an additional separate heated garage with a beautiful 1000sf apartment. The property was designed with versatility in mind, beginning with the in-law, Au-pair, Airbnb, accessory one bedroom apartment with private access. This space is open, large and beautifully finished. The barn was used by past owners to board horses and comes with lumber & hardware for stalls as well as post and rail horse fencing. Wide-open pastures and conserved land make this a paradise for equestrian aficionados (or Nordic skiers). The main house beckons you to its kitchen with ample natural light and its open layout into the living area with its fireplace – perfect for entertaining. The home has been well maintained and was built tough. Although listed as 4 bedrooms it has two additional rooms on the top floor that teenagers or grandchildren would love. Complete with a formal dining area and finished basement with space for games, TV, storage and crafting room. Motivated sellers.
