Overview

Set along 250 feet of rare, sandy shoreline on Lake Champlain, this circa-1850 farmhouse offers a compelling blend of history, privacy, and highly usable waterfront–just moments from the center of Essex. Positioned on approximately two acres with broad lawns and mature trees, the property captures sweeping east-facing views across the lake to Vermont’s Green Mountains.

The 2,098-square-foot home has been thoughtfully updated, offering 4 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a formal dining room, sunlit office or library, and a screened porch overlooking the water. The layout is comfortable and functional, well suited for both everyday living and extended stays with friends, family and guests.

The shoreline is a defining feature. A clean, gradual, sweeping, grassy lawn leads to a private sandy beach, a true rarity along this stretch of Lake Champlain. Combined with walkable access to Essex’s shops, restaurants, marina, and ferry to Vermont, the setting offers both convenience and a strong sense of place.

Well located for regional access, Essex is approximately 2 hours from Albany, 1 hour 45 minutes to Montreal, 4 hours to Boston, and 4 hours 45 minutes from New York City, with Amtrak service in nearby Westport just 10 miles south.

A distinctive lakefront offering with the scale, setting, and accessibility to serve as a long-term Adirondack retreat.
