Heavenly view above Lake Garfield.

Very easy home to get to and settle down. We stayed for about 5 weeks. A great hideaway and yet accessable to a public beach, the Town of Lee with a shopping area to the North & Gt Barrington to the West. Simple setup with main living on the ground/entry level. Enormous "cooks" kitchen with plenty of gear. A terrific gym and an office/work area downstairs which also opens to the back entry.
