Quaker Smith Point
by H. Keith Wagner Partnership
This property on Shelburne Farms includes a main house, guest house and barn complex set on 20 acres of rolling meadow and woodland with commanding views of Lake Champlain. In master planning the site, special attention was given to solar orientation, views and utilizing the existing grade change to integrate with the architecture of the main house. Site features include an arrival court, extensive terrace areas on the lakeside for entertaining, an outdoor kitchen, fire pit, water feature that collects rainwater, Corten steel retaining walls and extensive stone walls and paving.
