About This Home

As of May 2026

If you've been waiting for a beautiful waterfront location to come along on Big Glen Lake - here it is! 5450 W. MacFarlane Rd. With a very level lot, perfect views of Alligator Hill and west facing sunset vistas, on over half an acre of land and with a well-kept home to customize and make your own - this property is calling your name! While the original footprint of the cottage is from the 1940's, it was rebuilt from the ground up in the late 1990's, and boasts three bedrooms, an additional sleeping space, two full bathrooms, laundry, air conditioning, and the most beautiful fieldstone fireplace in its light and airy living room! Expansive views of the lake are welcomed in through the living room windows, and the adjacent, open kitchen and dining area also allow for the same. There's a main floor primary bedroom, bathroom and laundry, with an additional two bedrooms, bathroom, and sleeping space upstairs! Outside, the 61' of Glen Lake frontage also comes with a brand new dock that is being included in the sale of the home! A detached, two car garage is ideal not only for parking, but for off season storage of kayaks, bikes, patio furniture, and more. This is a competitive price point for Big Glen Lake. Being sold furnished with few exceptions!
