Find Waterfront Homes for Sale in Grand Isle County, VT

Grand Isle County is the Lake Champlain islands, a chain reached from Chittenden County by the Sand Bar causeway on US 2 and from the north by the Alburgh isthmus. It is Vermont's smallest county by land area and its most waterfront by proportion, which is why so much of the housing stock here fronts the lake. Frontage ranges from seasonal camps on narrow lots to winterized year-round houses with deep water and mountain views west toward the Adirondacks. The Brian Boardman Group covers the islands.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which islands make up Grand Isle County, VT?

South Hero, Grand Isle, North Hero, Isle La Motte and Alburgh. US 2 runs the length of the chain, connecting to the mainland at the Sand Bar in Milton and at the northern end near the Canadian border.

Are these seasonal camps or year-round homes?

Both. Many properties began as summer camps and a good share have since been winterized or rebuilt. Heating, water supply and septic arrangements vary widely and should be reviewed individually.

What are the views like from the islands?

West-facing frontage looks across the broad lake toward the Adirondacks in New York, while east-facing properties look back at the Green Mountains, including Mount Mansfield on clear days.
