Property Description
HIGHEST AND BEST 4/8 by 7:00 PM. Rare Lakefront Sanctuary with Panoramic Views. Set along the shores of one of Connecticut's most coveted lakes, this rare lakefront offering comes to market for the first time in nearly half a century-an enduring retreat defined by water, light, and a deep sense of calm. Wake each morning to the gentle shimmer of crystal-clear water stretching beyond nearly every window. Known for its remarkable clarity, the lake reveals a vibrant ecosystem below, creating a sense of tranquility and connection to the natural world. Step onto your private dock and embrace effortless waterfront living. Kayak across glassy waters, take a refreshing dip, fish at sunset, or just exhale and enjoy the stillness of the moment. This setting is one that restores and inspires. The main residence offers 2 bedrooms and 1 full bath with panoramic lake views throughout. Designed for both comfort and function, the home features an open-concept layout, a mudroom, and convenient main-level laundry. A generous deck provides a spectacular view of the 529-acre lake and its accessible, verdant state parks. The home's lower-level patio provides seamless access to the lake via its private dock. A separate cottage expands the lifestyle possibilities, offering a bedroom, full kitchen, bath, living/dining area, and a stunning enclosed porch, an ideal overflow for hosting. A once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a true Connecticut lakefront retreat.
