Listing broker remarks

A rare opportunity for those with a vision. Lake Shirley is a 354-acre aquatic playground with 27 miles of shoreline. It’s a special place where Eagles, Loons, and other birds are frequent visitors. The charming cottage with a detached garage is suitable for year-round living. The 2-bedroom, 1 bath cottage is all you need when you are enjoying life on the water. A new wooden perimeter fence provides additional privacy, and an additional full outdoor bathroom is a huge bonus. The adjacent parcel, included in the sale, adds .6 acres for the home’s use for a total of over an acre! The beach/dock “landing” with lush grass, beautiful landscaping, 2 docks for your boat, and a shed for your kayaks and floats, is a paradise you can’t find anywhere. It's the perfect place to grill, hang with family, and enjoy lake life without the customary waterfront price tag and taxes! Just minutes to Devens businesses. Title V completed and passed. Don't miss this truly unique offering! Also offered in combination with Private Island Listing: 881 Flat Hill Road.
