This mind-blowing Vermont estate with a 33-hole private golf course is a steal … even at $23 million

October 21, 2024

We’ve shared countless jaw-dropping golf homes over the years. Homes with awesome backyard putting complexes. Homes with living rooms modeled after Butler Cabin. Homes smack dab in the middle of iconic links courses. Each has been incredible in its own right, but we promise you’ve never seen anything like Grosse Pointe, a 343-acre, 9,580-square-foot Vermont estate containing a 33-hole private golf course on the shores of Lake Champlain. Feast your eyes and empty your offshore accounts.

One of Grosse Pointe's five additional residences.

The property includes five other residences spread across 1.5-miles of secluded Lake Champlain shoreline, as well as nearby Bradford Farm. There are three private deep-water docks for easy fishing access while the golf course—originally constructed in 1940s as a nine-hole course before expanding to include 16 par 4s, 11 par 3s and six par 5s—sits at the center of the sprawling estate.

The Green Mountain State gem, capable of housing an entire extended family across its acreage, was purchased by Robert and Cynthia Hoehl for $8.4 million back in 2006. Prospective buyers will have to shell out considerably more in today’s real estate market, though, with the compound hitting the market for $26.2 million late last year. The asking price has since dropped to just below $23 million, but it remains the most expensive home for sale in all of Vermont. With that much golf, fishing and hiking at your fingertips, however, we’d almost call 1044 Grosse Pointe a steal … almost.
