25 kibbe farm

Big views, calm water, relaxed, yet carefully curated aesthetic: Keeler Bay Waterfront skillfully integrates Vermont craft with modern amenities to create a welcoming retreat on a particularly beautiful section of Lake Champlain. This 4,000 sf 5-bedroom property offers serenity and island living removed just 25 minutes from Burlington’s vibrant urban life. Bringing to the property a lifetime of design expertise, the architect owner brought together talented Vermont craftsman to match the drama of the site with a warm, elegant home. The house captures the panoramic lake and Adirondack Mountain views, employing vernacular materials like heart pine plank flooring, antique hand hewn beams, and artisanal plaster and paint with modern conveniences like custom floor-to-ceiling Marvin windows, sophisticated lighting design and controls, and top-flight appliances and systems. Living areas flow beautifully, with generous proportions and connection to the lakefront via wrap-around porches and bluestone terrace around the waterfront firepit. The guest house offers two additional bedrooms, full kitchen and office at just the right distance from the main house. The waterfront is easily accessible and gentle – unusual for Lake Champlain – with private beach, dock and a stamped concrete boat ramp and sheltered deepwater mooring out front.
