Why Live in Orwell

Orwell, nestled on the banks of Lake Champlain, offers a rural lifestyle with a strong sense of community. Known for its historical significance, Mount Independence provides a glimpse into Revolutionary War history with a museum and trails. The neighborhood features a mix of cabins, Colonial Revivals, ranch, and farmhouse-style homes, many on vast acreages, with some properties offering expansive waterfront views. Main Street serves as a community hub with the First Congregational Church, a bank, and a post office, while local retailers like Barnfinds Antiques and Village Beginagains add to the small-town charm. Residents often travel 15 miles to Fair Haven for groceries and dining options. Outdoor activities abound, with Lake Champlain marinas, local creeks for kayaking, and winter sports like snowshoeing and ice fishing. Vermont 22A and Route 73 connect Orwell to nearby areas, with the Ticonderoga Ferry less than 7 miles away for trips to New York. While the area is generally peaceful, lower-lying regions near the water are prone to flooding, as seen in 2023. Despite its rural setting, Orwell maintains a close-knit community where neighbors support each other, reflecting the typical character of small Vermont towns.
