Discover the magic of Ripshin Lake with this idyllic, move-in ready cabin nestled on its hidden shoreline. The main level features a soaring great room with a wall of windows that frame views of ancient hemlocks and the over 60-acre private lake. A unique breezeway connects to the master suite, showcasing stunning craftsmanship throughout. A cozy sleeping loft overlooks the great room, while the lower level offers a flexible space—perfect for a guest bedroom, home office, gym, or game room. Step outside to where the true magic happens—expansive, well-built decks seemingly float among the trees. Just a few steps away, a charming path winds through mature rhododendrons to a private lakeside dock and boathouse. This property is part of the Ripshin Lake Corporation, a unique ownership structure fully managed by lake property owners. As an equal shareholder, you'll enjoy access to over 120 acres of shared land, plus the pristine 60+ acre lake.
