Lakefront opportunities like this are few and far between! Situated on the shores of Lake Waushacum, this exceptional property offers 75 feet of direct waterfront and some of the most breathtaking panoramic views on the entire lake. Spanning approximately 188 acres, Lake Waushacum is one of Central Massachusetts' premier recreational lakes, offering boating, fishing, swimming, waterskiing, kayaking, and more. Enjoy it all from your private dock while taking in sweeping open-water views. The existing home provides the opportunity to expand or reimagine the space to suit your vision. Whether you're looking to create a year-round lakeside retreat, a seasonal getaway, or build the custom lake house you've always dreamed of, the possibilities are endless. Rarely does a property with this location, frontage, and view become available!
