Lakefront Bargain Hunt Season 5 Episode 9 A Lake Champlain Staycation

A Lake Champlain Staycation follows a couple who are looking to purchase a lakefront property for their family vacations. With a budget of $400,000, they want to find a home with enough space for their family of four that is close to their hometown of Burlington, Vermont. Lake Champlain, a 120-mile-long lake that stretches across Vermont and New York, offers a variety of recreational activities including swimming, boating, and fishing.

The couple begins their search with the help of real estate agent, Nancy Jenkins. Their first stop is a recently renovated log cabin near the town of Alburgh. The property is located on a quiet cove with its own private beach. The home has two bedrooms and an open concept living room and kitchen. The couple loves the rustic charm of the home but feel that it may be a bit too small for their needs.

Next, the couple visits a contemporary-style home in Swanton. The property has three bedrooms and a spacious deck overlooking the lake. The home also has a large dock with a boat lift. However, the couple feels that the home's interior is a bit too modern for their taste.

Their third stop is a traditional-style home in Grand Isle. The property has four bedrooms and a large yard that leads down to the lake. There is also a separate guest house on the property. Although the couple loves the home's classic New England style, they are concerned about the upkeep of such a large property.

As they continue their search, the couple discovers a charming cape-style home in South Hero. The property has three bedrooms and a large deck overlooking the lake. The home also has a private beach and a separate dock. The couple loves the home's cozy feel and the fact that it is only a short drive from their hometown of Burlington.

After much consideration, the couple decides to put an offer on the South Hero property. Nancy negotiates the sale and the couple is thrilled to have found their perfect lakefront vacation home.

Throughout the episode, viewers get a glimpse of the various recreational activities available on Lake Champlain. The couple is seen fishing, boating, and swimming in the lake. They also visit local restaurants and markets to sample the area's cuisine. The episode highlights the beauty of Lake Champlain and the surrounding towns, and showcases the variety of lakefront properties available to buyers.
