More About the Property:
A property this large is a rare find right in town. There is a wonderful large field surrounding the house with seasonal wildflowers and wild blueberries and a large mowed lawn for games. Use the shell beach for easy kayak or canoe access. At night, take advantage of the bluff overlooking the water. On the lawn, you can play with our bocce ball set or make use of the badminton/volleyball net usually set up (all equipment provided).
The kitchen is well-equipped with a stove, double-sink, refrigerator with ice-maker, and plenty of dishes, glasses, utensils, and pots and pans, right down to the wine-glasses and beer mugs. Outside on the patio, you can sit and relax, watch the water, grill your dinner, and then eat at the picnic table on the large adjacent lawn overlooking the cove.
Special touches include a DVD player, digital Cable TV with Surround Sound and high-speed Wireless Internet. The office closet is stocked with games for your enjoyment. There are books and dvds, too.
Local Activities:
