Isle La Motte pairs small-island tranquility with everyday practicality, set amid the broad waters of Lake Champlain in Grand Isle County. A causeway along Route 129 links the island to Alburgh, putting grocery runs, commutes, and weekend outings within easy reach of St. Albans and Burlington.
Outdoor lovers gravitate to the area’s world-class geology and shoreline access. The ancient Chazy Reef—one of the oldest known reef formations—surfaces at Goodsell Ridge and Fisk Quarry, stewarded locally by the Isle La Motte Preservation Trust and featured at the Fisk Quarry Preserve. Peaceful lawns and lake views welcome visitors at St. Anne’s Shrine, a long-standing gathering place. Nearby, family-friendly camping and swimming await at Grand Isle State Park. Birders head to the Missisquoi National Wildlife Refuge, while cyclists and scenic drivers trace the Lake Champlain Byway for island-to-island vistas.
Schools are part of the Grand Isle Supervisory Union, known for close-knit classes and strong community support. Students can access academic, arts, and athletics programs across the islands, with straightforward travel routes to off-island opportunities. Housing ranges from shoreline cottages and historic farmhouses to low-maintenance year-round homes, drawing both second-home seekers and residents who want water, wildlife, and night skies filled with stars.
