LITTLE GLEN LAKE updated above the garage cottage: excellent location and lot on Little Glen's north shore. Build your dreamy Up North retreat directly in front and leave the majority of existing simply bonus space with kitchenette for the overflow guests (the original plan back in ‘88). This is a great opportunity for those with simple imagination to turn this cottage into your dream home. Health Department will allow a conventional septic system by the road suitable for a 4 bedroom home. Bingo.
