Ready to build your dream lakefront retreat this summer? Nestled on the shores of Lake Champlain in the heart of South Hero, this rare opportunity lets you craft a custom waterfront escape on your schedule. Set on 0.32 acre of owned land with a shared interest in 2.67 acres of waterfront common land spanning 529 feet of shoreline, this homesite offers both privacy and community in one stunning package. Positioned at the end of a quiet, dead-end road, the east-facing lot delivers sweeping, year-round views of the lake and surrounding mountains, with front-row seats to stunning sunrises over Keeler Bay every morning. All the hard work is done. Infrastructure is fully developed, development permits are in hand, and approvals are in place for a four-bedroom home, town water, electricity, and the community septic system. Break ground this season. The larger lot size gives you room to spread out, with space for gardens, a portable shed, and parking. Keeler Bay Marina sits right next door, offering boat slips, ramp access, and beautiful marina views, with convenient overflow guest parking available in the adjacent marina lot. Common land and shoreline maintenance are managed by the homeowners' association, making this a truly turnkey opportunity. All of this is just under 25 minutes from Burlington, with local shops, restaurants, and a vibrant seasonal farmers market nearby. This is your chance to live Lake Champlain life at its finest.
