Nestled across from the scenic Burncoat Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, this exceptional property offers an unparalleled opportunity to build your dream home and immerse yourself in the natural beauty and serenity of this picturesque area.

The Lake and Surrounding Natural Beauty

Burncoat Pond is a fully recreational, 120-acre lake, perfect for a wide range of outdoor activities that allow you to embrace the best of nature and water-based fun. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a peaceful paddle in your kayak or dive into exhilarating water sports, this lake offers something for everyone. It is also a favorite among anglers, thanks to its abundance of fish and the unique ecosystem that thrives in its waters. As you explore the lake, you’ll notice the fascinating fish nests, a natural feature that plays a vital role in the lake's aquatic life—be sure to ask about their importance!

One of the best parts of owning a lakefront property on Burncoat Pond is the daily spectacle of nature. With the lot facing west, you’ll be treated to breathtaking sunsets every evening, transforming the sky into a stunning palette of orange, pink, and purple as the sun dips below the horizon. Imagine sipping your favorite beverage from the comfort of your future porch, watching the sun set over the water, and listening to the soothing sounds of the lake.

The lake itself is dam-controlled, which offers additional peace of mind.
