The story I heard about this house is that it was built by a mason who built it for himself and the amazing stone work shows how much he truly loved what his craft! Inside and out the hand laid stone and bricks bring out a unique and cozy feel. You can tell from how maintained this house is that every owner has truly loved and appreciated the uniquely beautiful character and wanted to preserve that for the next generation. The lot is well shaded keeping the house cool in the summer time and well protected in the winter. Spend your summer days playing in the water at your own sandy beach and the evenings relaxing in the screen porch while watching breathtaking sunsets. Cedar Island lake has no public access so the lake is calm and friendly year round with fantastic fishing off the dock. Winter days call for warming up in the sauna with a polar plunge to keep you young! This property is just a few miles from Giant's Ridge for world class golfing, restaurants, skiing, and mountain biking. There are great snowmobile and OHV trails that would take you days to explore. When you live where everyone vacations you'll never be bored!
