About This Home

Tucked along the quiet waters of Cargile Creek on Lake Mitchell, this one-of-a-kind lake home is something truly special.
The experience begins long before you reach the front door. A winding, half-mile semi-private dirt road leads you in—secluded, peaceful, and incredibly calming. It feels like stepping into another world, where everything slows down and the noise fades. The approach alone sets the tone for what this property offers: privacy, stillness, and a setting reminiscent of a story.
Originally built in the early 1900s, this home carries the kind of character and history that simply can’t be recreated. Thoughtfully cared for over the years, it blends the charm of a classic Southern lake retreat with the kind of natural beauty that makes you stop and stay awhile.
The setting is stunning—wide water views framed by blooming trees and lush greenery, creating a backdrop that changes with the seasons and never gets old. Inside, you’ll find expansive windows that bring the outdoors in, original wood flooring throughout, and inviting living spaces designed for gathering, slowing down, and making memories. The den is anchored by an impressive brick, wood-burning fireplace—one of those rare features that instantly makes a house feel like home and becomes the heart of every season.
The oversized screened porches are where this home truly shines—perfect for morning coffee, long dinners, and evenings spent listening to the water. Whether you're hosting family or enjoying a quiet weekend, this home was made for connection.
Outside, a covered dock and brand new fishing pier offer easy access to the water, making lake days effortless—from early morning fishing to sunset boat rides.
This isn’t just a lake house—it’s a legacy property. A place that has been deeply loved, carefully maintained, and ready for its next chapter.
