And if you're looking to get out on the water, the community has its own private pier. Dock your boat, load up your supplies, and set off for an adventure on the shimmering lake. Or, simply take a leisurely stroll along the pier, cast a line for some fish, or watch the breathtaking sunsets paint the sky in a riot of colors. At night, this spot transforms into a magical haven for stargazing – gaze up at the endless expanse of the Milky Way and let the twinkling stars mesmerize you.

Speaking of magic, the location of this home truly is one-of-a-kind. You'll have easy access to nearby Sugar Pine Cakery, a local favorite known for its mouthwatering treats.
