Waterfront
There is 170’ of frontage, with a shallow walk in sand bottom, gradually deepening to 5’ deep off the dock (no diving). Sun exposure is east, with sunrises from the window and dock. Big Clear Lake is known for clear clean water with a sandy bottom. The cottage shoreline is kept in place with granite boulders. The swim area is maintained and cleared yearly. The depth in front of the cottage is 5 feet with a gradual drop off to 12-16 feet as you swim out from the dock.
There is a large mass of water lilies in view of the cottage, which are beautiful when in full bloom in late summer. These plants are 30 feet out, and don't impede on the swim area at the cottage dock. A public beach and swim dock platform are only a short swim or snorkel away. There are some weeds, but it’s generally good for swimming.
