For those looking for privacy, views, and water access, this hilltop retreat fits the bill. Located on top of a hill overlooking 7-mile-long Highland Lake, the 30-acre property with deeded water access to a private beach offers a peaceful year-round escape. The Pierce Wildlife & Forest Reservation, 3,479 acres of permanently protected land directly abuts this property and creates a rare and very private sanctuary. The warm and inviting three-story open concept home is accessed via a long gravel driveway that was recently redone, smoothed and widened. Designed with friends and family in mind, there are plenty of gathering areas including the large kitchen, dining, living room centered by a double-sided fireplace, and highlighted by large windows that take in the beautiful views of Highland Lake. A bathroom and separate shower room with soaking tub finish the tiled first floor. The carpeted upstairs includes a half-bath and flexible space for sleeping arrangements including a primary bedroom with access to a private deck. The walkout lower level has a utility room, ½ bathroom, kitchenette, and woodstove. Two large sliders access a large brick patio that surrounds the house on three sides and features views of the lake, plenty of outdoor seating, an outdoor shower, and a small man-made waterfall/pond with glacial boulders off to the side. A long deck connects the home to a separate separate workshop. And if you want a truly outdoor experience there are even tent platforms.
