About This Home

Welcome to 20 Helen Avenue! Take a look at this new construction home on Lower Gar that’s all about easy, elevated lake living. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and facing protected DNR land, you’ll feel like you’ve found your own peaceful corner of the Lakes without being far from the action. With 72 feet of shoreline and direct access to the entire chain of lakes, this location offers the best of both worlds: calm waters and quick access to West Lake and East Lake. You're also just minutes from Arnolds Park, restaurants, trails, and all the local favorites that make Okoboji so special. With 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and over 4,100 square feet, there’s space for everyone whether it’s summer weekends full of guests or quiet evenings by the fireplace. The kitchen is a showstopper with a huge island, quartz counters, custom cabinetry, and lighting that makes it all glow. The primary suite is the kind of space you won’t want to leave—wake up to lake views, step out to the patio, and unwind in the spa-inspired wet room with a soaking tub, walk-in tiled shower, and in-floor heating for added comfort. Downstairs, the fun continues with a large family room, wet bar, and a bonus room ready to become a bunk room, game room, or movie hideaway. This isn’t just a house—it’s the lake lifestyle, already built and waiting for you. Move in, unwind, and enjoy.
