Own a private piece of paradise w/ over 10 acres on Waters Island with a staggering 2,000 feet of pristine shoreline on beautiful Burnside Lake and a rare offering of a separate 2+ acre mainland parcel with 210 feet of shoreline on Van Vac Road for convenient access and extra privacy provided by the massive, tow Pines.

Open floor plan hosts the living room, dining and kitchen all overlooking Burntside. Spend time on the island’s wooded trails and picking fresh wild blueberries. Modern conveniences are already in place: power, internet, septic system, and a drilled well. Handy shed stores all your lakeside necessities. True legacy property that is being offered for the first time. Whether you're seeking a peaceful family retreat, a hunting and fishing basecamp, or a private island getaway, look no further. It's time to start living your dream today.
