Property Description

Some houses are measured in square footage. Others are measured in moments. Coffee before a stroll to the lake. racing barefoot to the beach. Long afternoons drifting across quiet water. A book that somehow takes all day because the porch keeps asking you to stay. That is life at Roaring Brook Lake.

Stone patios invite mornings, summer dinners, barbecues, or quiet moments beneath the trees. A gentle creek runs along the front of the property, adding a rare touch of charm.
