Converse Bay Farm

Set on 96.71 acres in the heart of Charlotte, Vermont, this exceptional lakefront estate offers a rare combination of natural beauty and deep privacy. With long views of Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks to the west, the property spans rolling pasture, mature woodlands, curated gardens, and a private waterfront complete with boathouse and lakeside cabin. A gravel drive leads from the main house, past a spring-fed pond and meadows, to the boat house, with a different view of the mountain, lake, and pastoral views from each building.Few properties on the lake rival the scale and versatility of this one. At its heart is a full equestrian complex, including a 21-stall horse barn with two tack rooms and a regulation-size indoor riding arena. A separate red barn houses a former workshop, extensive hay storage, and a finished office with exposed beams and custom cabinetry. For aviation enthusiasts, a grass airstrip and 48-foot wood-sided hangar offer direct takeoff and landing access, a rare feature for lakefront property in Vermont.The 4,377 sq. ft. traditional-style estate blends classic design with authentic materials, old growth pine floors, hand-hewn beams, slate entries, and multiple woodburning fireplaces. In the main house, five bedrooms and four full baths, three half baths are spread across three levels, including a lower-level suite with a fireplace and a sauna located just down the hall. The kitchen, equipped with Viking appliances and a vintage Elmira woodstove, opens to a warm dining room with stone fireplace and sunroom with slate floors and skylights. The adjacent guest house includes two bedrooms, full bath, kitchen, and lakeview bedrooms, perfect for extended guests or caretakers.This property is not simply a home, but a generational opportunity, nearly 100 acres of private land with 4,282 feet of Lake Champlain shoreline, designed for a life of recreation, retreat, and legacy stewardship. Located in one of Charlotte's most desirable enclaves, it is under 30 minutes to downtown Burlington, yet feels a world apart.
