Description

60' of Direct Lakefront! This 4 season cottage is the perfect getaway only 2 hrs from Boston & 2.5 from NYC. If you're looking for passive income, this home is a rental favorite all year long. In the winter you can ice skate, ice fish or sit by the huge fieldstone fireplace & in the summer you can take the electric paddle boat out, admire the views from the screened in porch or play games on the lawn next to the fire pit. Very low maintenance from afar. Shaw pond allows power boats & has some of the best fishing in the Berkshires. Brand new heating system just installed. Optional HOA of $375/YR gives you access to the local private beach & trash facilities. Very clean & popular yet peaceful lake only 11 mins away from the MA Pike. All furnishings available for purchase. Truly turnkey!
