Search Waterfront Homes for Sale in Chittenden County, VT

Chittenden County holds about thirty miles of Lake Champlain shoreline, running from Milton's Sand Bar south through Colchester Point, the Burlington waterfront, Shelburne Bay and the Charlotte shore. Much of it was developed generations ago, so waterfront here means established properties on mature lots rather than new construction, and the set stays small because shoreline does not expand. The county's inland ponds add a handful more. The Brian Boardman Group follows this shoreline closely. Compare the islands on the South Hero page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which parts of Chittenden County have lake frontage?

The shoreline runs through Milton, Colchester, Burlington, South Burlington, Shelburne and Charlotte. Colchester Point, Shelburne Bay and the Charlotte shore hold the largest concentrations of private frontage.

Why is the waterfront count so small?

Shoreline is finite and much of it was built out long ago, with additional stretches held as public land or park. A few dozen listings at most are active at any time.

Does this include inland water frontage?

Yes. Properties on the county's inland ponds and larger streams appear alongside Lake Champlain frontage when flagged as waterfront. The listing page identifies the body of water.
