Some places invite you to slow down. Lanes Shore makes it effortless. Set along the peaceful shoreline of historic Thompson's Point, this waterfront retreat captures sweeping views across Point Bay to the Green Mountains. Mornings begin with coffee on one of three private patios as the sun rises over Lake Champlain. Evenings are best spent on the screened porch, where the lake breeze and ever-changing views create the perfect backdrop for dinner or quiet conversation. Designed with timeless lakeside charm and subtle nautical character, expansive sliding glass doors fill the home with natural light and connect the living spaces to the outdoors. Two oversized retractable awnings provide welcome shade on sunny afternoons. The thoughtfully designed interior includes a primary bedroom with a king bed and private bath, a second bedroom with two twin beds, an additional full bath, a comfortable living room, well-equipped kitchen, and in-home laundry, making the cottage ideal for both weekend getaways and extended stays. Outside, recently completed landscaping with mature hedges, arborvitae, and colorful gardens creates a private setting, and the conserved land across the street will never be built upon. The newer dock offers direct access to Lake Champlain for swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, or simply spending the day on the water. Although it feels worlds away, Lanes Shore is just 25 minutes from Burlington and close to Shelburne Farms, Shelburne Museum, wineries, breweries, golf, hiking, local orchards, the Charlotte-Essex ferry, Vergennes, and Basin Harbor. Rarely does a property offer this combination of direct Lake Champlain frontage, stunning mountain views, privacy, and a location that puts Vermont's best experiences within easy reach. At 189 Lanes Lane, the lake isn't just the view. It's your everyday backdrop.
