I have listed a new property at 1394 Black Lake North Shore in Tay Valley. See details here

Forget the dock that bottoms out in August. Off this one you've got 15 to 20 feet of water, the kind of depth that means real swimming, real diving, and a boat that floats no matter how dry the summer gets. Welcome to 1394 Black Lake North Shore, a three-season cottage built for the way summers are supposed to feel. The open floor plan keeps everyone in the same room whether they're cooking, playing cards, or just landed from the lake. Off the main space, a big sunroom with oversized windows pulls the water and the treeline right inside, the spot you'll claim with a coffee at 7am and a book at 7pm. Three bedrooms mean room for the kids and the inevitable guests. One bath keeps it simple, the way a cottage should be. Out on the deck, the hot tub looks straight over the lake, the place everyone drifts to once the sun drops. A detached garage with power handles the toys, the tools, and the projects. And the practical stuff is already sorted: steel roof overhead, low maintenance throughout, so your weekends go to the water instead of the to-do list. Deep water like this is rare in cottage country, and cottages that have it do not sit. Book your showing before someone else claims your dock.
