About This Home
Lakeview Mountain Retreat — Where Every Season Feels Like a Getaway! Wake up to the shimmer of sunlight dancing across the lake and end your evenings watching the mountains fade into brilliant sunsets from your brand-new water- facing deck. Nestled on a generous lakeview property in a peaceful and quiet rural setting, this unique home offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and year-round recreation. Constructed with stone sourced directly from the property, complemented by beautifully stained blue wood accents, the home's exterior reflects the character and beauty of its surroundings. Inside, you'll discover 10 inviting rooms designed for both relaxation and gathering. The home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a spacious living room, dining room, kitchen, den, welcoming entrance room, sunroom, and a distinctive cedar-walled room centered around a wood-burning stove—the perfect place to unwind on snowy winter evenings. Step outside and enjoy your own private sanctuary. The grounds include: • Direct lake view • Brand-new lake-facing deck • Beautiful garden areas • Charming pond with a small fountain • Detached shed with new roof • Attached garage • Paver driveway and walkways • Spacious yard with room to enjoy every season Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the abundance of nearby hiking trails, while winter brings easy access to skiing, sledding, and snow-covered mountain scenery. Residents also enjoy access to a private lake beach for swimming, relaxing, and making lasting summer memories. Recent Improvements • New lakefront deck (2026) • Central air conditioning unit replaced one month ago • Furnace approximately 5 years old • Shed roof replaced in 2025 • Roof approximately 13 years old - with 30 year warranty More than a house, this is a place where mornings begin with lake views, afternoons are spent exploring trails and gardens, and evenings gather around the warmth of a crackling fire by the stove or outside by the fire pit making s'mores! Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a peaceful retreat close to nature, this mountain lakeview property offers a lifestyle that's increasingly hard to find. It's not just a house it's a place where the best memories of your life are made with family and friends. For me, it's been one unforgettable place to call home. Although there is an HOA, they have no say on what you can and cannot do with your property. The dues collected is strictly for the lake, beach and road. I need to inform you that I have my real estate license.
