60’ of Direct Lakefront! This 4 season cottage is the perfect getaway only 2 hrs from Boston and 2.5 from NYC. If you're looking for passive income, this home is a rental favorite all year long. In the winter you can ice skate, ice fish or sit by the huge fieldstone fireplace and in the summer you can take the electric paddle boat out in the water, admire the views from the screened in porch or play games on the lawn next to the fire pit. Very low maintenance from afar. Shaw pond is a hidden gem which allows power boats and has some of the best fishing in the Berkshires. Brand new fancy heating system just installed. Optional HOA of $375/YR gives you access to the local private beach and trash facilities. Very clean and popular yet peaceful lake only 11 mins away from the MA Pike. There is nearby skiing, highly regarded restaurants, well known coffee shops, a large chain supermarket, amazing hikes and only 5 mins to world re-known Jacob's Pillow. All furnishings available for purchase.
