26 Lakeside TrailFairfield, PA 17320

Description

Set on 1.34 private, wooded acres directly on the shores of Charnita Lake, this 6-bedroom, 5-bath waterfront estate blends rustic mountain charm with the space and flexibility today's buyers are looking for. Whether you're looking for a spacious retreat, housing multiple generations under one roof, or building a turnkey short-term rental in the heart of the Ski Liberty corridor, this property is rich with options. Step inside through the stone-and-timber entry and you're greeted by a great room anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, rich hardwood floors, and walls of windows framing the lake and wooded hillside beyond. The open living and dining areas flow onto multiple rear decks, perfect for morning coffee over the water or evening entertaining under the trees. With three full kitchens — including a gourmet kitchen and two additional kitchens featuring their own islands — plus four separate laundry rooms serving different bedrooms throughout the home, the layout is purpose-built for multiple households, or multiple sets of guests, to live independently and comfortably. Wake up, walk out your door, and be on the water: the property offers direct lakeside access for kayaking and swimming, with private piers overlooking one of the most scenic stretches of the lake. Cool off instead in the saltwater pool, or gather around the outdoor spaces built for entertaining — including a fully equipped outdoor kitchen, a tranquil koi pond, a fire ring for evening gatherings, a private putting green, and an external sauna for year-round relaxation. This is four-season living at its best. Ski Liberty is just minutes away for skiing, golf, and clubhouse amenities, and you're a short drive from the charm of Fairfield and the history of Gettysburg. The Maryland line is just minutes south, putting Baltimore and DC within easy reach. Whether you're envisioning a multigenerational compound, a high-performing lake house rental, or your own private waterfront escape, 26 Lakeside Trail offers a rare combination of privacy, space, and location.
