Why they chose this property
I love living in Melrose. The cottage is just a couple of miles from “downtown” Melrose. Besides beautiful Lake Santa Fe, we enjoy farmer’s markets, restaurants where everyone knows your name, art galleries and community activities. Melrose is small town living at its best!

The lake cottage is as close to the water as you can get! It feels like you’re part of the lake as you sit in your living room . Outside your door, the dock is built around the cypress trees where you can enjoy breathtaking sunsets!
