Description

Hard to find, unusual waterfront property on Lake Zoar! This is set apart by its location on the lake, but serenely tucked in the woods for what feels like a Vermont hideaway. Wooded, private, perched high above the lake, with possibility of spotting a bald eagle overhead, it feels more like a nature retreat. The house could use some TLC and vision to bring it into its glory! But step inside and the possibilities are there! Especially with the water views! This could be very special! Some work has...Hard to find, unusual waterfront property on Lake Zoar! This is set apart by its location on the lake, but serenely tucked in the woods for what feels like a Vermont hideaway. Wooded, private, perched high above the lake, with possibility of spotting a bald eagle overhead, it feels more like a nature retreat. The house could use some TLC and vision to bring it into its glory! But step inside and the possibilities are there! Especially with the water views! This could be very special! Some work has been done; new roof on most of the house, new front balcony/deck, some new siding, and 3 season porch was redone in 2021. Homes across the lake (Fiddlehead) priced between $1.9 million and $2.25millon! Could be a great opportunity for Investors, Owner Occupants, Builders, or anyone with a vision! Buyer to do due diligence for any info pertinent to their decision making.
