✧ Where Nature Nurtures the Soul

Step outside to 100 feet of **private, sandy lake frontage**. Here, children laugh as they wade into clear, shallow waters, and loons serenade your early morning paddles. Glide across the lake in a kayak or soak up the sun with a line in the water. By evening, gather by the lakeside firepit for stories and s’mores beneath a canopy of stars—each flicker of flame a reminder to live in the moment. This is an all sports lake, so bring your boat or rent one locally!

The expansive **1,250-square-foot deck** stretches your living space outdoors, offering panoramic views that shimmer with light—just like the iridescent wings of the dragonfly.
