Description:
'Grosse Pointe' in Ferrisburgh, Vermont is an extraordinary, secluded New England estate on the shores of Lake Champlain. It offers 1.5 miles of pristine shoreline, where panoramic views stretch across the lake and the majestic Adirondack Mountains. Spanning nearly 345 acres of verdant fields and tranquil forests, much of it preserved by a Nature Conservancy easement, this estate offers a rare blend of natural beauty and serene isolation. At its heart stands a magnificent 10,000-square-foot French Colonial Revival mansion, a timeless marvel completed in 1906. Constructed with fossil-laden local Panton Stone, its grand façade and richly detailed interior echo the elegance of a bygone era. Perched on the property's highest point, the residence offers breathtaking vistas of the lake and mountains in three directions. To the inland side, the home overlooks a private golf course that weaves gracefully through the landscape, presenting a uniquely scenic golfing experience. The Grosse Pointe estate also features five additional residences, both year-round and seasonal, and 'Bradford Farm,' a beautifully renovated farmhouse and two expansive barns. Three unreplicable concrete piers along the lakeshore offer deep-water access for boating and world-class freshwater fishing. This unparalleled retreat is a rare legacy opportunity, promising a sanctuary of peace and tranquility, a haven for wildlife, a playground for recreation, and a timeless testament to a life well-lived.
