Just escape. Escape the rat race. Escape the hustle and bustle of the 21st century. Escape the trappings of a society designed to work you, stress you, and push you to the max. Escape to Castaway Cottage on Bailey Lake - and just breathe. Let's start off with a nice deep, slow inhale as you turn onto your private drive, leaving the world behind though but mere minutes to it's inevitable return (and mere minutes to area conveniences). Exhale as you catch sight of your three-year-new tiny home, beckoning with welcoming arms into a warm, relaxing embrace. Another deep inhale as you bring your cottage to life - checking your solar bank and switching on the power - yes, Mother Nature provides all the power you need for your relaxing recharge, and performing a Leftie Loosie on the propane tank should you require the services of your tiny home propane heater to take the chill out of those upstate mornings or to cook a quick, easy meal. Exhale as you pour yourself a glass of something delightful and head out onto your spacious deck to overlook your dreamy, privately-owned and spring-fed lake frontage. Castaway Cottage is just that, an enchanting little spot designed and built to allow its steward to cast away the cares of the world and just recharge the batteries. Situated on five heavenly acres and immediately bordering over a thousand acres of protected state land, this is a recreational paradise. Explore your inner woodsman or woodswoman desires, or just put on a plaid shirt and pretend to whilst enjoying a glass of Blanton's and a good cigar just sitting on your beautiful, newly constructed dock - it's all up to you. The cottage comes fully equipped for off-the-grid living - with ample solar power, a compostable toilet, propane heat and a water delivery system and comes fully equipped with everything you'd need to enjoy it immediately: dishes, pots, pans, linens, water toys, etc. All for less than the price of many new cars. One more deep inhale - and now find your cell phone, ignore those missed calls, work emails and texts demanding your immediate attention (for a not-so-immediate issue) and put the OPEN HOUSE in your Google calendar. Come spend an enchanting evening by the calming waters of Bailey Lake - and we guarantee you'll want to spend the rest of your life spending enchanting evenings here.
