The trolley is ideal for bringing groceries, etc. from the dock up to the cottage!...This custom built Rattlesnake Island cottage offers an abundance of charm from the level shoreline up to the Hobbit Room. Located on the northwest side of the island, the property enjoys sun from early morning until sunset. There is a nice area along the shorefront for lounging, reading, swimming, or a late night campfire. Multi-level decks offer many outdoor sitting areas, expanding the living space of the property. The trolley is ideal for bringing groceries, etc. from the dock up to the cottage! The cottage is tastefully decorated and furnished, has hardwood floors, exposed beams and a handcrafted long leaf southern pine circular staircase, which leads to two sleeping areas. The current owners have maintained the path behind the cottage for direct access to interior hiking trails that lead to the top of the island for phenomenal 360 views! This property enjoys a beautiful southwest exposure and sweeping 180 degree views of the lake, islands and mountains. Straight across from the cottage is Rattlesnake Landing, property on the mainland owned by the Rattlesnake Association, a great asset to Rattlesnake Island property owners exclusively. This property consists of a boat ramp, two transient docks and two parking lots. The upper parking area is secured and members can park cars there or leave a boat on a trailer in the winter months. A great opportunity here!
