County resources also identify smaller ponds in town, giving buyers several different water-oriented settings to explore.

Visit both the water and the surrounding roads before deciding which neighborhood fits. Think beyond a summer weekend: consider heating, storage, maintenance and how often you would use the home in colder months. An inland property can offer a different balance from a cottage close to the shore.
