Description
Fondly called "The Lodge". Absolutely charming 2 bedroom/1.5 bath cottage tucked in the woods on Long Meadow Pond. Over five acres plus private dock overlooking crystal-clear water with no motorized watercraft. Exposed beam gable ceilings, hardwood bamboo floors, less than 2 year old appliances, and artful touches throughout use every inch of space to its full advantage. Enjoy kayaking, hiking in your own woods, or simply relaxing amidst nature's serenity. Detached, newly-built small barn perfect for storage and workshop. Serene spot to hideaway for the weekends or year round residency. The Lodge was completely remodeled just under two years ago - enchanting setting. Currently being freshly painted and cleaned. Waiting for permits for new well to be drilled. Little town of Bethlehem with only two blinking lights! Enjoy the lake, March Farms, Bellemy Ferriday House, Bethlehem Christmas Festival and of course, the Bethlehem Fair. Still a very rural town, but adjacent to everything you need.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWould NOT recommend Woodbury Middle School. The principal acts more like an aggravated child then a principal. He continuously argues and erupts at the kids and parents when someone does not agree with him. The administration uses the inability to participate in sports and school trips as manipulation tactics. They use ISS as their own "time out" room. The school is continuing to go down hill in learning, leadership and the ability to help middle schoolers learn how to prepare for high school.Other Review2y ago
