About this House
FULLY FURNISHED - Not your average rental! An fabulous opportunity to enjoy lower rent for the right person wanting to care for an amazing property while the owners are in Australia for 10 months commencing in mid-August to mid-June.
Nestled within an exclusive private compound on the coveted Porters Point peninsula where rentals of this calibre almost never come to market this lovingly maintained ranch-style retreat is the product of decades of international travel, considered taste, and genuine love for a very special place. It is fully furnished, impeccably styled, and ready for a tenant who will appreciate every detail.
Inside, three nicely appointed bedrooms, a dedicated study, and a warm, inviting lounge create a home that is as functional as it is inspiring. The kitchen is a design statement in itself anchored by iconic retro-style SMEG and Big Chill appliances that are as charming to look at as they are a pleasure to cook with. Freshly laid Marmoleum flooring flows throughout, bringing warmth, durability, and a crisp contemporary finish to every room. A full bathroom with bathtub completes the interior in a relaxed cottage style.
Art and decor drawn from world travels give the home a soul that simply cannot be replicated each piece tells a story, and together they create an atmosphere that is eclectic, cultured, and deeply comfortable. This is not simply a furnished rental. It is a curated home, generously shared.
Step outside to a 1/2 acre of lush yard, where a charming 3-season screened porch beckons for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or quiet evenings listening to the lake. Rare private water access and a boat mooring sit just moments away an extraordinary privilege on Lake Champlain. The Burlington Bike Path, Airport Park, and the famous Causeway are all within easy reach, putting Vermont's finest lakeside lifestyle literally at your doorstep.
A partially finished basement houses a brand new GE smart washer and dryer, along with generous storage. Driveway parking accommodates multiple vehicles an RV included.
We are seeking a reliable, respectful, and quietly discerning tenant someone who will enjoy and honour the spirit of this remarkable home while we are away. If you are drawn to peaceful surroundings, inspired interiors, and a turnkey lakeside lifestyle steeped in nature and soul, we would very much like to hear from you.
*Please email Kristen with a little about yourself, your household, and why this feels right for you. No smoking. Well-behaved pets considered. Property tours are reserved for well-qualified applicants only.*
This is a rare opportunity to secure a truly special fully furnished home in one of Vermont's most sought-after lakeside communities 10 min from Burlington and on remarkably simple, all-inclusive terms.
A fixed 10-month lease runs from mid-August 2026 (available 12 August) through mid-June 2027 (terminates 15 June), perfectly aligned with the academic calendar and ideal for a visiting professional or academic who values a settled, unhurried home base without a year-round commitment.
Rent is $2,300/month plus a flat $400/month covering all utilities gas, electricity, water, internet, cable TV, and professional lawn mowing bringing the total to just $2,700/month with nothing left to organise.
A security deposit of $2,700 and one month's rent/utilities of $2,700 in advance secures the property. One well-behaved small pet may be considered for a modest pet bond/rent. No smoking.
