As of November 2018Exquisitely located directly on Lake Zoar with 77 Feet of Lake Frontage (more or less) this rare property enjoys an unparalleled location and sweeping panoramic views of Lake Zoar and neighboring hillsides. Enjoy the Lake Lifestyle in this quiet, enchanting and very private setting that will take your breath away. Stroll down to the lake, take in the views from multiple decks that capture the view and bring it right to you. Enjoy and evening around the fire-pit and take in the stars and the peaceful setting. This lake-side bungalow/cottage needs nothing except for you to move in. Updates galore, wood and tile flooring throughout, a professional chef's kitchen, updates baths and bedrooms. Wonderful additional space in the lower level. Extensive gardens and masonry work. This home will not disappoint in any way, and it will not last!
