Rattlesnake Island is the home of this private Lindal Cedar chalet with three bedrooms, a full bath, spacious living room, galley kitchen and dining area. There is a floor to ceiling brick fireplace with hearth, and unusual to islands, this property has a full walk out basement. The owner has decades of memories traveling to the island over the ice and spending weekends there with his family. The waterfront consists of 160’ with a permanent covered boatslip which will accommodate a 24’ boat, plus there is a 6’ x 36’ permanent dock. Here you’ll find nice sand for swimming. The lot is landscaped and has several areas for yard games. Abutting the property is an Association owned lot with 180’ of waterfront, offering even more privacy. Relax on the wraparound deck, take in the 180° long range mountain, lake and island views, go for a swim, pick blueberries at the shore, enjoy warm sunshine from mid-morning until sunset, or go for a hike. Rattlesnake is located on the southern part of the lake, and has outstanding hiking trails around the island interior that lead up to the summit. From this point, you can see the entire lake. Also available with this property is a 25’ boatslip at nearby Minge Cove to secure your access to the lake.
