Christie is one of the premier lakes in the area with no public access, which reduces boat traffic. This lake offers excellent bass and pan fishing. The cottage has been freshly painted inside and all carpeting has been cleaned. There is plenty of sleeping room for guests with a pull out sofa in the living room and an 8x14 3-season porch. Enjoy the view from the house or the 15x13 deck. There are 5 sheds for plenty of storage. Three sheds are behind the house,the largest is 8x16 with electric & extra refrigerator. There are 2 sheds by the water, one with electric. If you are looking for a lake cottage getaway easy on your budget, this is the place. The c ottage is on leased land. You will pay annual rent, but this is offset by very low personal property tax on the cottage. In the near future you may be able to buy the land also.
