Grosse Pointe’ in Ferrisburgh, Vermont is an extraordinary New England estate on the shores of Lake Champlain. It offers 1.5 miles of pristine shoreline, where panoramic views stretch across the lake to the majestic Adirondack Mountains. Spanning nearly 345 acres of verdant fields and tranquil forests, 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. Golf has been revitalized at the estate, honoring its history. Two exclusive courses exude beauty that will astound any golfer. The courses navigate pastures and woodlands, along and over the lake, engulfing players in picturesque water and mountain views, and creating an experience to be remembered. The estate also features five additional residences and 'Bradford Farm,' a beautifully renovated farmhouse with two expansive barns. Three concrete piers along the lakeshore offer deep-water access for boating and world-class fishing. This unparalleled summer retreat is a rare legacy opportunity, promising a sanctuary of tranquility, a haven for wildlife, a playground for recreation, and a timeless testament to a life well-lived.
