Conveniently located in Colchester, with spectacular views, this seasonal camp looks across Malletts Bay to distant Green Mountains, from its rock ledge perch on a quiet island cove. Summer on Coates Island feels a world away from daily life, but is easily accessed by a narrow private road that winds though the wooded island. Relax with family and friends on the multi-level wrap-around deck or patio, as sailboats glide by; or bring your boats, kayaks, and paddle boards, and launch or tie up at the long dock or two moorings. Sited safely above the high waterline, the cottage is graced by green lawn and rock gardens filled with perennials.
Stunning views abound from every room in this open floor plan. Entertaining is a delight with this bright white cabinet kitchen, with dishwasher, range, and refrigerator, and water cooler. Spacious Living/ dining area look out to the Bay. A gas fireplace will warm you on chilly nights, and a window AC will handle those few hot days, while three ceiling fans usually keep you comfortable. As color fades from the evening sky, tuck into three cozy bedrooms. Full bath with soaking tub.
