A rare opportunity to own an amazing home as well as a family compound or an Air-B-NB with endless options! Vacation or year round home with great outdoor activities to build memories and skills! Learning how to swim(safely, as no motor boats allowed!) or to row a boat or just letting the kids go sailing, paddle boarding, or wind surfing on a lake that you cannot get lost on!... or just lazing around on the raft on an endless hot summer day.... these are just some of the many wonderful features of this special lake for the next family to discover and embrace. Only 20 minutes to Northampton and within an hour to many major prep schools such as Williston, NMH, Deerfield Academy, or Bement to name a few as well as many world class colleges...Smith, Mt Holyoke, Amherst, UMass, and Williams. In the winter there is fantastic skiing right out the back door...Mt Snow, Okemo, and Killington that you can just drive out to after breakfast and be home for dinner! Or the local mountains, Berkshire East is only 20 minutes away or Bosquet, 40 minutes, both with night skiing! For the traveler Bradley International Airport is 1 plus hour away and Logan/Boston is only 2 hours. The lake also abuts the 1400 acre DAR state forest with many miles of safe running and mountain biking trails.

On the inside...4BR and 3BA (lovely master suite with a private 3 season porch) a 500+s/f entertainment room on the second floor, and a private garden level studio apartment. Outside there are 2.5 acres of rolling lawn with fruit trees, blueberry bushes, and beautiful wooded trails and over 300' of private water frontage with a gentle and inviting wide open beach under foot to enter the lake for a swim! A fabulous 2+ car oversized attached garage with service door back yard to the back yard for lawn equipment and accessories. The driveway has a Goshen stone wall that frames a magnificent garden of flowers that attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, and pollinators all summer long! It is like waking up in a postcard every day and in the Autumn...WOW!!!!!!!!! These are just some of the many reasons why everyone falls in love with the "Goshen Ocean." Then there are the three charming furnished seasonal cottages which can be occupied during the summer months for additional income or shared with family and or friends. It is bittersweet to leave but the time has come...
