About This Home

As of August 2025

Why choose between the beach and the lake when you can have both? This rare waterfront gem offers the ultimate blend of lake life and sandy serenity with its expansive private beach—perfect for leisurely walks into the water, safe swimming, and lakeside fun for the whole family, including your four-legged companions. Tucked away in a spacious cove just off the main lake, this property is ideally situated on highly sought-after flat terrain—making outdoor living and access a breeze. The fenced area provides peace of mind for little ones and pets to play freely. The oversized single boathouse is a true standout, featuring three jet ski lifts, generous storage, easy-entry steps into the lake, and a sun deck with panoramic views that stretch for miles. Inside, you'll find a warm and inviting home with three bedrooms and two beautifully updated bathrooms. The open-concept living and dining area flows seamlessly into a charming three-season sunroom, where expansive windows frame stunning waterfront views. The kitchen boasts upgraded cabinetry, and both bathrooms have been modernized with tile finishes for a fresh, clean look. Practical updates include new windows, a roof installed within the last year, and an on-demand new hot water heater, whole house generator, ensuring peace of mind for years to come. A two-car covered carport and large workshop provide ample storage and space for hobbies or lake toys. Best of all? This home is being sold fully furnished, so you can start living the lake life from day one.
