Grand Isle Getaway

Sited in a field overlooking Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks in the background, the house is designed to accommodate a large family of avid sailors and sports enthusiasts. There is a boat house with a dock, a soccer field and a beach volleyball court. Exterior stone work keeps this house of 10 gables visually anchored to the site. The Vermont Slate roof keeps it natural and local. Ample porches and patios connect the inside spaces with the outside living areas. The large open space above the garage features a bar and entertainment area for family gatherings. A solar field and heat-pump HVAC system make for near-net-zero energy use. A lakeside spa and patio provide a perfect spot for absorbing the sunsets over the Adirondacks.
