Nice little seasonal cottage with a large porch overlooking the Pond. Rustic interior, comes with some furnishings. Beautiful large lot with newer drilled well and older septic system. Cleared path down to the shore with small dock in need or work. Lovely view of the lake. Truly a great property for future expansion. Only a short distance from the Town maintained and plowed portion of the road. Large double lot.
