Gentle boat ramp to beach/water for wading, swimming, launching you canoes, kayaks, SUP's raft etc. Million dollar home site still sits untouched on the forested knoll adjacent to the cottage.

Off of the kitchen is a one of a kind custom wide open bath with heated tile floors, surround less shower, exposed copper piping and custom cabinetry above the live edge walnut vanity. Beautiful pocket doors separate the bathroom as well as the laundry/utility space.
