Description

LAKE LIVING MADE EASY in this beautiful custom built home. It features an open floor plan with a beautiful gas fire place to help warm you on those chilly days. The large yard is host to an abundance of wild life (otters, swans and ducks). They enjoy sharing the large pond fed by the rapids. These rapids are created by the small water fall that comes directly from waters off of Pequaywan lake, which is a private lake accessible by boat, kayak or pontoon only a few yards away. This Chalet style home also features hardwood flooring, in-floor hot water heat, an eat-in kitchen, an open dinning room and a large pantry. You'll also enjoy the sauna in the main floor bathroom. The upper level features a large master bedroom with a deck that overlooks all of the water features. Imagine enjoying breakfast on your own private retreat in the woods. The upper level also hosts two other bedrooms and a bath with a large Jacuzzi tub and shower. Also 2 car garage & 36X54 pole building with 18X54 heated
