House overview
Cedar Farm is a historic 15+/- acre estate on Lake Champlain with approximately 700 feet of shoreline on Town Farm Bay, surrounded by expansive rolling lawns, meadows, fruit trees and gardens. It is protected on all sides from development.
The magnificent main house was built in 1793 with stone walls three feet thick, nine fireplaces, and 12-over-12 wood windows; a historic gem lovingly updated with plenty of 21st-century comforts.
The stone was hauled from Fort Ticonderoga on ice sleds to build the 17-room, 5,680 sf eight-bedroom, seven-bath main residence.
There is an attached 3-bedroom, 3-bath caretaker/ “mother-in-law” apartment, wine cellar, and formal dining room.
Other notable features of the main house include a screened porch and organic vegetable gardens off the chef’s kitchen, a cozy den with original fireplace, and a bright and airy private primary suite on the second level.
A complex of barns includes event space and a large workshop, and a unique free-standing, wood-paneled tower great for reading a good book or just enjoying the view, comprises the outbuildings.
Out on the spreading grounds, thick stone walls edge the organic raised vegetable gardens and the velvet green lawns.
A footbridge crosses a pond to a small island and a stone fire pit.
Cedar Farm is located in the vibrant town of Charlotte, known for its good schools, general store, and recreational offerings.
The shops, restaurants, theaters, and colleges of Burlington are only 20 minutes from the house, Vermont’s world-class ski mountains a short drive, and Montreal an hour and a half due north.
Cedar Farm is within walking distance of a full-service marina.
