Called "The Enchanted Cottage," the three-bedroom home features a pristine waterfront setting inspired by scenes from Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn's family drama.

"The most impressive feature of this home is its location on Newfoundland Lake, facing west, with incredible sunsets," said Alan DeStefano, listing agent for Granite Group Real Estate Services/Bristol." It was built by more than 22 craftsmen and artisans, so it's as much a work of art as it is a home. It was built to replicate an old lakeside cottage that has been added on to over the years."

Construction on the home began in 2018 and was completed in 2020. The 2,096-square-foot home sits on 135 feet of prime waterfront, offering breathtaking views of Newfoundland Lake.

Entered through circular double doors, the foyer features stone flooring and wood walls. In the main living area, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace serves as the focal point of the cozy room.

Cathedral-style wood ceilings and exposed beams give a cozy cabin feel. Numerous windows in the walls provide lakeside views worthy of a photograph.

Two bedrooms are located on the first floor, with a large bedroom and half-bath upstairs. deStefano says each bedroom has its own sink, "just like they did in the old cottages."

A gourmet kitchen has a walk-in pantry, a breakfast bar with built-in wine rack, and high-end appliances.

The open floor plan flows into a nearby dining area with surrounding windows filled with views of the lake. The property also has a two-storey garage barn, large enough to accommodate a boat.

"Newfoundland Lake is 4,400 acres, seven miles wide and 182 feet deep," DeStefano says." It is a glacial lake, fed by four different springs. It is one of the cleanest lakes in the world. You can clearly see 30 feet down. It really has a 'on a golden pond' feel to it."

DeStefano says the cabin will probably be used as a second home.

"Most of the properties in the area are second homes," he notes, adding, "I think the next owner will be someone who appreciates art, not someone who is simply looking for a house on a lake."
