Quechee Lakes, Quechee, Vermont
Just 120 miles outside of Boston, in the rolling White Mountains of Vermont, lies Quechee Lakes, a spectacular year-round golf community, set on 5200 scenic acres. Ideal for retirement, for families, or for a second home, Quechee Lakes features new single-family homes on one to ten-acres lots, new townhomes, homesites, and the Townhouses at The Vale, 22 units on eight wooded acres. New homes prices start in the low $400,000s. Homesites start at $80,000. You can choose from custom plans or design your own home. Plans range from 1800 to 5000 square foot homes and incorporate local building materials, such as smooth rounded river rock, Vermont slate, and wood timber and shingles. Most plans feature sweeping decks and balconies to take advantage of the beautiful valley views.
The centerpiece of the community is two, private, 18-hole, championship golf courses, designed by Geoffrey Cornish – the Highland Course and the Lakeland Course. These courses were recently ranked number 89 on “America’s Top 100 Residential Courses” by Golfweek Magazine. Both courses make the most of the gentle rolling hills and the Ottauquechee River, which runs adjacent to the courses. Elevated, tree-lined fairways, water features, and rock walls make sure you are challenged on every round.
Amenities at Quechee Lakes include a private ski mountain with three lifts, a fresh-water beach, an outdoor and indoor swimming pool, and over 35 miles of well-manicured trails for hiking, biking, riding, and cross-country skiing. Residents automatically become members of the private Quechee Club. No initiation fee or waiting period. You can enjoy the club’s restaurant, children’s programs, and sport facilities as soon as you move in.
The quaint and friendly Vermont countryside welcomes new residents. Dartmouth College, just a few miles away, ensures that the area is rich in cultural and artistic events. The shops of nearby Hanover are filled with interesting restaurants, eclectic boutiques, and avant-garde and traditional art galleries.
