Situated lakeside at 3,540 feet of elevation, this magnificent property features a main home and an additional guest cabin. The main two-bedroom, one-bath residence abounds with rustic charm, while still feeling fresh and inviting. The kitchen in the main home is newly remodeled with updated stainless steel appliances, as well as a dining nook. The fantastic screened porch to the side of the home is perfect for entertaining guests and enjoying the mountain stream that runs by the house into the lake. On cool nights, the living room with a wood-burning stove is the ideal spot to cozy up with a good book and relax. The guest cabin offers one bedroom and one bath with an old-world feel just steps away from the main home, affording your guests privacy and convenience. There are several outbuildings around the property, providing ample storage. As you explore the thoughtfully landscaped and well-kept grounds, you'll find a quaint meadow, shady spots to rest, blueberries and fruit trees, sitting areas, and a rock fire pit perfect for roasting marshmallows by the shore on a summer night. The property has its own private dock, as well as access to the community dock. This is a spectacular property that has fantastic rental potential, ideal for multi-family ownership, or just a great year-round or summer residence.
