The property sprawls across landscaped lawns, perennial rock gardens, and brick pathways and includes an enchanting 5-bedroom main house, with multiple decks & stone patios, a guest cottage, 3-bay garage, and stunning lake & mountain views. The private lakefront is a summer oasis, promising endless lazy afternoons of boating, swimming, and fishing on the water.
