The five highest-priced home sales reported in Burlington & Champlain Valley, Vermont for the week ending November 8, 2026, came to $7.43 million combined. Four were in Chittenden County, two of them in Shelburne and one each in Charlotte and Jericho, and the fifth, the highest-priced of the group, was in South Hero in Grand Isle County.
All five are single-family homes, and one is new construction. Shelburne’s two sales came to $1,770,000 together.
No. 1 — $3,150,000 · 316 South Street, South Hero, Vermont
The week’s top sale, at $3,150,000, was an Adirondack-style home on 13.30 acres in South Hero, on the western shore of Lake Champlain in the Champlain Islands. The property has more than 350 feet of lake frontage and beach access, with views of the Adirondacks across the water. The home faces west, toward the evening sunsets over the lake, and the land beyond it takes in open fields.
Built in 1999, the home is clad in cedar shingles and stone. Its main room is a 33-by-38-foot great room with a stone fireplace and walls of glass that look out to the lake. Birch floors and natural wood finishes run through the interior, and the kitchen has cherry and birch cabinetry. The floors have radiant heat, the home uses a geothermal heating system, and it has solar panels on the roof as well as solar trackers, with mini-split units for cooling in summer.
The home has three bedrooms and five bathrooms in 5,175 square feet of living space, and the primary suite is on the first floor. Several porches and broad decks look over the lake, the walkout lower level is partially finished, and the garage has room for two cars. For all its seclusion, the property is about 20 miles from Burlington and roughly an hour from Montreal. It last sold for $2.8 million in 2022.

The plan is open, there is a wood stove for winter evenings, and a library gives the home a room set aside for books, music or work. It has three bedrooms and three bathrooms in 2,692 square feet, the smallest living area among the five, along with a balcony, a deck and an attached two-car garage.
