Tranquility awaits – Ours is the only occupied home on a private drive with extensive water frontage on Scott Pond. A must see for all bird watchers and nature lovers and we regularly have blue herons, geese, ducks, the beavers visiting and especially enjoy seeing the blue herons hunting. Our niece came to visit and was thrilled to catch her first large mouth bass.

There is a beaver dam around the corner from our peninsula which limits the kinds of boats that visit our part of the pond from the larger part of Scott Pond which keeps our side very private and peaceful.

Also nearby is a pick your own berry farm which has raspberries, gooseberries, currants, and blueberries.

Questions:

>Is the pond swimmable?

I swim in the pond and rinse off using the hose next to the fire pit

The pond water is tea-colored due to natural tannins from decaying organic matter such as leaves and trees, which leach into the water. This process, similar to steeping tea, can stain the water a tea-like color. The pond bottom is soft so I wear pond Aqua Sox to help keep my feet clean and safe.

NOTE:
Ours is a 3-season _unheated_ home which is shut down from November through March.

The large AC in the living room keeps the whole home comfortable during the summertime.
