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 25-acre property with deeded water access to a private beach offers a peaceful year-round escape. The warm and inviting three-story open concept home features plenty of gathering areas including the large kitchen, dining, and living room centered by a double-sided fireplace, and highlighted by large windows that take in the beautiful views of the lake. The finished walkout lower level opens to a large brick patio surrounding the house on three sides, with views, plenty of seating, an outdoor shower, and small waterfall/pond with glacial boulders. A long deck connects the home to a separate workshop. The property abuts the Pierce Wildlife and Forest Reservation, 3,479 acres of permanently protected land.. Winter outdoor enthusiasts will enjoy snowmobiling, ice fishing, and skating on Highland Lake, snowshoeing, and skiing at nearby Pats Peak Ski Area, Okemo Mountain Resort, and Mount Sunapee Resort.
