This 2-bedroom, 2-bath home has been fully reimagined with meticulous attention to detail, combining top-tier craftsmanship with the warmth of a truly inviting residence. Nestled on approximately 2.8 acres of pine-studded land, the property boasts nearly 300 feet of level shoreline and a pristine sandy beach.

Two enclosed entries, gleaming wood floors, and an abundance of natural light set the tone. The chef’s kitchen, equipped with Fisher & Paykel appliances and granite countertops, flows seamlessly into a breakfast nook with sweeping panoramic lake views from every window.

Complementing the main residence, a thoughtfully designed guest house invites friends and family to stay in style. With tile floors, tongue-and-groove walls, vaulted ceilings, a loft, three-quarter bath, off-peak electric heating, and a charming fireplace, it is both luxurious and cozy. Additional amenities include an oversized one-stall garage, storage shed, and two 5 kW eco-friendly solar panels, ensuring a lower carbon footprint.
