This seasonal cottage is filled with potential. It has it's own well and septic and sits on 3 lots, totaling nearly an acre. This means it can be remodeled as is, or it can be completely rebuilt as a year round home. A stone's throw from West Hill Lake, this cottage has rights to the private beach where you can keep kayaks or paddle boards, and participate in all the events the lake organization has to offer. If you like to swim, fish, paddle board, kayak, or sit on the beach, this property needs to be on your short list. Bring your cash offers and your toolbelt! Highest and Best by 5pm Monday, July 10th.
