About This Home

The Lake is calling! All 2400+ acres of it! Enjoy this compact year round cabin with 40 feet of sandy shoreline and a gentle slope to the water, (yet the elevation prevented it from flooding) great for swimming, fishing, boating, and soaking up amazing views looking west across the lake while sitting in your 12x20 screened in covered porch! Close to town, food, gas, parks and trails and just steps from the Public Beach providing endless options for fun, gatherings, and recreation. The home is being sold as-is and includes all the furnishings, the dock, Pontoon and Solar powered lift. It's a gem in need of some repairs and TLC. The views and location alone make it a great opportunity for anyone looking to build equity and customize their personal lake retreat.
