Lake houses have long been places of quiet retreat — simple cabins tucked into nature, designed for privacy, relaxation, and endless views of the water. Eagles Rest takes that timeless idea and elevates it into a rare, 12-acre waterfront sanctuary on Vermont’s storied Shelburne Point.

Reminiscent of New England’s classic family compounds yet built for modern, multi-generational living, the Shelburne Point estate offers approximately 830 feet of coveted shoreline, including an extraordinary 450 feet of rare sandy beach tucked into a protected mini-cove on the bay’s tranquil western edge.

Completed in 2008, this award-winning custom home was designed by TruexCullins and brought to life by Roundtree Construction, earning features in top architectural magazines for its site-specific design and sustainable details. The residence draws directly from the land itself: red oak and maple flooring was milled on-site from trees cleared for construction, while a geothermal system delivers year-round comfort with minimal environmental impact.

A 120-foot dock with boat lift extends summer days well into sunset, offering safe harbor from the elements and easy access to Lake Champlain’s open waters. Indoors, the flexible floor plan bridges old and new: one wing lives like a bright, contemporary family home, while the other offers single-level living with the same sweeping lake views — perfect for hosting extended family or aging in place without sacrificing design or privacy. Over 9,500 square feet of living space spread across two floors includes four bedrooms, three full baths, three 3/4 baths and two half baths.

A timeless Lake Champlain legacy, built to be enjoyed for generations to come.
