About This Home

Seeking all Waterfront Visionaries! For the first time in generations, the "best spot on the lake" is now available for the next owners to make it their legacy property. The possibilities with this open, level, double lot will leave you speechless with its 135 ft of premium frontage, gorgeous lake views and at the end of the road and backing up to a private land trust for privacy! Little Alum Lake is a true spring fed lake, long prized for its water quality and depth of clarity, yet within about an hour of Hartford and Boston. The homey cottage with a grand wrap deck is just waiting for the next owners to work their magic and transform it into their dream waterfront property. With full recreational use, (except jet skis), boat or kayak around the lake, swim in the crystal waters and enjoy fishing in a lake stocked for your enjoyment! The lake culture is supported by a very active association which sponsors a ski club, special events and more! Think of all the fun times....
