Bernie Sanders may have championed the “little guy,” but when it comes to buying real estate, the former presidential candidate is living large!
Sanders is the proud new owner of a luxury summer home located in the elite Champlain Islands. The vacation home has four bedrooms and 500 feet of Lake Champlain beachfront on the coveted east side of the island.
The Burlington resident last week plopped down nearly $600,000 on a lakefront camp in North Hero.Sanders’ new crib is facing Vermont, not New York. The Bern will keep his home in Burlington and use the new camp seasonally. “We’ve traveled up to the islands many times over the years — almost always on day trips,” Sanders’ wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, told Seven Days in a written statement. “We’ve been impressed with the North Hero community, eaten at the North Hero House and Shore Acres and have suggested them to friends who were looking for a beautiful place to stay or have dinner. St. Anne’s Shrine in Isle La Motte is my favorite church and it is nearby.” h/t sevendaysvt
