The log cabin-style seasonal home on Lake Champlain has four bedrooms and more than 500 feet of Lake Champlain frontage.
Seven Days were the first to report the story.
The senator’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, told the Burlington newspaper the purchase was financed from the proceeds of the sale of a home in Maine that her family owned. According to SF Gate, the North Hero property was listed for $598,000 in early June and the couple closed on the sale a week ago. People Magazine listed the agent as Franz Rosenberger of the local Coldwell Banker office.
“My family had a lake home in Maine since 1900, but we hadn’t had the time to go there in recent years — especially since my parents passed away. We finally let go of it, and that enabled us to buy a place in the islands — something I’ve always hoped for,” Jane Sanders said in a written statement to Seven Days.
The couple plans to continue living in Burlington. They also own a home in Washington, D.C.
