About this home
Escape to your own island retreat where each day is a peaceful, waterfront sojourn. Nestled on an island in Big Pond, this tranquil waterfront property offers extraordinary privacy, natural beauty and modern comfort. Thoughtfully updated, the home features a masterfully renovated kitchen and bath, a first-floor bedroom and distinctive architectural details including cedar shakes, that create warmth and character throughout. All furnishings to stay. Mornings of seasonal birdsong and the delicate beauty of the new day invite ease and comfort both on the screened, full-windowed porch or on the two outdoor decks. Breathtaking views of the lake encourage leisurely relaxation while winding garden paths and natural stone walls enhance the property’s timeless appeal. A large boathouse provides exceptional storage for all your recreational equipment and includes a clothes dryer and refrigerator for added convenience. If you enjoy sailing, paddling or simply exploring the water, the property’s sailboat, canoe, kayaks and motorboat allow you to embrace an active and energetic lifestyle on this 330-acre lake. Tension and stress melt away as you cross the water to your own secluded oasis. Here you’ll discover enduring serenity, stunning scenery and stimulating outdoor activities where privacy and nature surround you. Tanglewood, world-class art museums and theatre, shopping, dining and everyday conveniences remain within easy reach in Otis and the nearby Berkshire hills.
