Frequently Asked Questions:
Is this a lakefront property? No. You get the best of both worlds. The home is set serenely in the woods with an expansive deck and large grassy area for games and a firepit. Lake access is just a short walk away or less than a 1 minute car ride. Your Otsego Lake Oasis is a 50' by 70' private lot that borders both the lake and a canal. There is an additional firepit with 6 camping chairs on the lake lot. Plenty of room to play games, secure boats on the dock, swim on the sandy bottom or just lay in the sun.
Can you park at the lake lot? Yes, either on the road or on the lot.
How is the parking at the house? There is a long circular driveway making it easy to navigate snowmobile, ATV and boat trailers. There is room for several vehicles.
Does the home have air conditioning. No. However, the home stays comfortably cool because of the tall shade trees.
How is the lake lot bordered? It has a seawall that runs the entire length of the lake front and into the canal. There is a dock you can walk onto and separate steps to walk into the water.
