"We never wanted to leave" -2022 renter. Torch lake is just 8 miles away from this truly unique, beautiful home. Serene location with two ponds as well as a stream and artesian fountain just outside the door. Let the kids try and catch fish out of the ponds or go on a search for turtles or frogs. Blue Herons, white tailed deer, and river otters have been known to stop by as well. It is truly an oasis of peacefulness just outside of the quaint town of Bellaire, and at the same time has very fast Wifi to keep in touch with your world. At the end of the day you can sit out on the patio to grill up dinner and watch the fireflies dance, listen to the peepers peep, and sit around the campfire with s'mores or fire table on the patio with a glass of wine. You will be in a second heaven in this lovely area. Ample parking for cars and trailers and room to bring your boat and enjoy a day on the water as the boat launch on Lake Bellaire is only 5 minutes away and connects to Torch Lake through the Chain of Lakes, or head straight to Torch only 10 minutes away. The festivals of this community are completely special as neighbor really does look after neighbor and the dining options are diverse from the local Brew Pub of Short's (a destination in itself), to the French Inspired small plates of Corner Bistro to the Farm to Table 5 star cuisine of Terraine. And don't forget to pick up some quiche and a coffee at M88 Morning Grind. This property has miles of hiking trails behind the house and quality details with granite countertops and custom woodwork. This is a truly spectacular area to enjoy to the fullest and this beautiful location lets you sit back and relax to do just that.
