An active beaver pond is adjacent - fishing is great and the sunsets are beautiful. Coffee & fresh baked goods every morning in the village Just a bit north there is another fully stocked grocery with great butcher shop and prepared food,home made fudge, maple creamie window etc. North Hero is one of the islands an island.in Lake Champlain. which once was an inland sea.

We have 41 acres of woods and open fields, a mile of lakeshore to roam with fields cliffs and wetlands, sunset views - 35' dock, canoe -great fishing even from the dock`- no other house in view, 2 acre man-made pond is full of wildlife, ospreys beaver, turtles ducks, geese etc. 300' from road thru woods to cottages, privacy for sure.
