Description

The Birches is an idyllic spot on pristine Lake Nubanusit. The spot was identified in 1904 by a Bostonian who gave it the name for the trees lining the shore and built the cabin with wood and stone from the property. Today, the camp preserves that idyllic quality with 428' of lake frontage and nature preserves to the east and across the water. Nubanusit Lake ranks second in the state for quality with 75% of its shoreline held in conservancy amidst the Harris Center's 12, 500 acre supersanctuary. The main cabin's master bedroom overlooks the lake through three large windows. A stone hearth sits in the heart of the family room with north and west facing windows. The screened porch provides a 180 degree view of the lake. Cozy kitchen features wood-burning Diva stove and refrigerators hidden behind original wooden cabinets. A 400-foot deep water well installed in 2012 pulls fresh, cool water with heated piping to prevent winter freezing. Bathroom includes shower, washer/dryer and septic system installed in 2015. Outbuildings include The Hutch, a guest house with wood-burning stove, kitchenette and toilet; the Cohasset art and work space and the Mini Cohasset sleeping house. The 428-foot waterfront ranks among the lake's widest privately held frontage with diverse features including sandy beach, a large dock to accommodate a boat. The shoreline features both shallow and deep water. The property encompasses 5.5 acres offering a myriad of recreational activities. A must see!
