Supplements: Private Boat Dock on Big Pond: Say goodbye to constantly taking your boat on and off it's trailer. With your own private boat dock on Big Pond, you can enjoy the Pond at your leisure whether it be for a morning fishing trip, water skiing with your family, participating in the Big Pond sail boat races, or watching the annual 4th of July fireworks. Benton Pond Waterfront with Gazebo: Getting tired of Big Pond? Take a short walk through your private woods to your gazebo overlooking Benton Pond where you and your family and friends can share a quiet picnic while taking in an expansive view of the Pond from the comfort of a screened gazebo (no bugs!!). With 400 feet of frontage and the potential for another dock, you can keep a second boat here -- or maybe just a kayak or canoe. Two Ponds: No other owner in Otis will have the benefit of waterfront property on both Big Pond and Benton Pond. Each Pond community is unique with different activities and amenities. You will be welcomed by both -- more friends and more activities to enjoy! Privacy: Nestled within your own 43 acres of woodlands, you can enjoy the quiet privacy of a house away from the water -- or venture to your two private waterfronts when you want to hear activity and enjoy a swim or just sit on the dock and talk with your neighbors. Trail System: 'It's like having your own national park," said a realtor friend of mine. Existing trails lead you from the house to Rt 23, blueberry ridge (lots of wild blueberries), Benton Pond, Big Pond and to the road system that surrounds both ponds. Environmentally Responsible: Feel secure in the fact that your property is safe from development in perpetuity. The wooded peace and quiet will be there for generations to come. And feel even better that your solar panels are helping combat climate change while saving you money. Energy Efficiency/No electric bills: Save on your electric bills! This four-season home is highly insulated with R-40 in the ceiling and R-15+ in the walls. The solar panels have provided the house with 100% of its electricity since they were installed in 2011. Porches/Decks: Buyer would have a porch or deck for all moods. The large screen porch is great if bugs are problem. Or, sit on the covered front porch while a thunderstorm rolls by -- or if sun is your preference, sit on the side deck. At 1600 feet of elevation and no surrounding light pollution, the night skies are truly an unbelievable site to behold. There is even a small balcony off the master bedroom -- great for a morning cup of coffee. Field Stone Fireplace: Hand constructed floor to ceiling field stone fireplace provides a cozy comfort on cool days and nights. Oak Hardwood Floor Throughout: Oak flooring of varying width adds to the charm and durability of the floors. WiFi: New to Otis is Wifi/cable access. This house was one of the first in Otis to be connected. Download a movie or work from home in quiet wooded comfort. Phone service is also available through the Wifi link. White Cedar Construction: The home is built from white cedar which (unlike pine) resists rot and saves on maintenance. Using standard wood frame construction, the cedar log siding is added to both sides of the frame to increase insulation and to provide the look of a cozy log cabin. Extra Income: Need a little extra income? The property has a great track record of summer rentals -- can easily make $1500 per week. Single Owner: The property has been carefully maintained by a single owner since construction in 1993. Big Savings: Houses on Big Pond are often listed for $1 million plus. Save hundreds of thousands of dollars while enjoying the best of owning private waterfront property.
