Welcome to Lakeside Retreat at Highland Lake, a circa-1980s waterfront property with 75 feet of private lake frontage, a sturdy dock, and expansive outdoor living spaces. Life here unfolds across sunlit decks and lakeside areas, anchored by a main residence and a detached two-car garage, newly constructed in 2017, with drive-through access to a third rear bay, ideal for storing boats, snowmobiles, and ATVs. The beachfront dock-level area makes this property perfect as a family retreat, a creative hideaway, or an income-producing vacation rental. The renovated contemporary Cape exudes charm and character throughout: cathedral oak ceilings, custom bamboo flooring, and custom hickory cabinetry. An expansive kitchen island serves as a natural gathering spot, while the finished walkout basement provides versatile space for guests, recreation, or quiet retreat. Two bedrooms and three bathrooms offer comfort and privacy, with the lower level accommodating additional sleeping and a relaxed living area, perfect for family, friends, or lakeside evenings. The surrounding region deepens the appeal through every season. The gentle, accessible shoreline invites kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, and fishing for bass and trout. Highland Lake is a peaceful, crystal-clear lake surrounded by wooded hills, perfect for swimming, boating, and relaxing by the water. Just 10 minutes to the center of Washington, 20 minutes to shopping and dining, and 30 minutes to Mount Sunapee Resort for skiing, hiking, and year-round recreation, with easy access to I-93 and less than two hours to Boston. Whether a second home, year-round residence, or rental investment, this property combines charm, convenience, and a turnkey lakeside lifestyle —ready for summer enjoyment!
