From the moment you arrive, this enchanting waterfront retreat feels like a storybook oasis. Follow the stone-lined path through lovingly tended gardens - alive with butterflies and pollinators throughout the summer - to a welcoming home overlooking the serene waters of Lake Skatutakee. Inside, the open first-floor layout creates an effortless connection between the beauty surrounding the home and the lake beyond. Walls of windows fill the living room with natural light while framing ever-changing water views, and a sliding door opens to the back deck - an idyllic spot for morning coffee as the sun rises, quiet afternoons by the water, or evenings beneath a dark, star-filled sky. From the deck and backyard, the dock is only steps away, making it easy to slip a kayak into the water whenever the mood strikes. The first floor also offers a convenient half bath with laundry. Upstairs are two bedrooms, including a spacious primary with room for a king-size bed and a cedar-lined closet, along with a full bath featuring both a soaking tub and separate shower. Life here moves at a gentler pace. Listen to the beautifully haunting call of loons across the water, paddle through pickerelweed blooms along the lake's peaceful western end, explore the winding channel while birdwatching, or simply sit back and enjoy the serenity of your own waterfront. Lake Skatutakee encompasses approximately 236 acres and is treasured locally for its natural beauty, wildlife and recreation. Just about a mile away, historic Harrisville Village offers quintessential New England charm and a beloved general store, while Keene and the greater Monadnock Region are within easy reach. This is more than a home on the lake - it's a place where gardens, forest and water come together, and where some of the best moments may be the simplest ones.
