Welcome to Whippoorwill Lodge on Watchaug Pond. A truly enchanting and magical waterfront cottage nestled between Burlingame State Park and Fish and Wildlife land. Enjoy your own private dock for swimming, boating or just soaking up the view of the 573 acre pond. This very charming home has been in the same family for decades and it's now time for a new owner. The house is rustic and needs some work but WOW....what a spot. Built in 1920, the character of the older home is in tact with original hardwood floors, a beautiful stone fireplace with gas insert, built-in bookcases, 3 bedrooms and one and a half baths. Newer windows, heat and central air-conditioning were upgraded in the early 2000's. The almost half acre lot encompasses an English Garden, a Wisteria covered arbor, mature plantings and colorful flowering shrubs throughout the seasons. The waterfront patio and sandy beach are perfect for a late afternoon cookout. Watchaug Pond is a sought after fishing lake that is stocked with trout, bass, perch and more. And Burlingame State Park has over 3.000 acres of hiking, mountain biking, camping and bird watching. The Pond attracts hawks, great horned owls, and bald eagles among the most notable birds. Just minutes to Charlestowns best beaches, the Rathskeller, Matunuck Oyster Bar and Historic Downtown Wakefield. Whether this is your summer get away or year round retreat, this is a once in a life time opportunity to own one of only four houses on the pond.
