In the evenings, watch the autumn and winter sunsets paint the sky before heading inside to cozy up by one of two wood-burning stoves—seasoned firewood already chopped and stacked.
This property offers 85 feet of private waterfront with a pier, boat lift, and floating launch for kayaks or paddleboards. Inside, you’ll find four bedrooms and four full baths, including a flexible suite with private access that can serve as a guest space, gym, or bonus room.
