A pristine lakefront property that houses a stone mansion and a 9-hole golf course is on the market in Vermont and could prove to bring in one of the biggest residential real estate windfalls in the state’s history.
The property known as Grosse Point sits in the town of Ferrisburgh, about 25 miles south of the state’s biggest city of Burlington.
It went on the market for $26.2 million in 2023, but is now listed for $23 million.
Here’s the property description via the listing on Zillow:
“Grosse Point” in the Lake Champlain Valley is one of the most private and impressive lakefront estates in New England. From its elevated perch on the point, the grand 10,000 square-foot historic stone residence with 345+/- acres of fields and woods overlooks more than 30 miles of Lake Champlain both to the north and south. The estate includes five guesthouses, a 9-hole golf course, a variety of usable barns, and farm manager’s house plus 1.5 miles of lake frontage with three large docks. The majority of the property is covered by a Nature Conservancy Conservation easement. Grosse Point, offered for only the second time in over 100 years, and with its provenance, is clearly one of the most extraordinary estates ever offered in northern New England.
According to a piece in the Wall Street Journal, the sprawling property was the summer home of Cynthia Hoehl and her husband Robert, who was a co-founder of software company IDX Systems Corp.
The entire estate sits on more than 400 acres, and the property tax bill is estimated at around a half-million dollars per year.
