    What's special

    Own the turn-key crown jewel of Forest Lake (a Fisherman's Paradise)—the largest, best-situated cottage on this side of the lake. Lovingly maintained, tastefully updated, and fully furnished, this 3-bedroom seasonal home offers unobstructed water views and unbeatable privacy. Enjoy town water/sewer, trash pickup, and easy access—no well, septic, or strict association to worry about. Land lease is $4,200/year, with minimal taxes. Forest Lake is a clean, motor-restricted lake, great for boating, fishing, and many other recreational hobbies. The current owners are only the third owners since 1915. Recent improvements include new roof and siding, mini splits (heating and AC), surround sound speakers (including outside), and vinyl flooring for easy Lake Living! Featured in the Merrimack Valley Magazine 'Meet me by the Water' (June 2015 issue), this quintessential cottage is set back about 50ft from the water with nearly 100ft of frontage. Nestled in the Town Forest with plenty of parking.
