About This Home

Price Reduced! Priced below recent appraised value, offering a strong opportunity for buyers seeking immediate value. Offering over 3,000 square feet, this expansive Lake Sara home is truly something special. Located on one of the best fishing spots on the lake, this property sits over spring-fed water, meaning it consistently maintains 6-8 feet of depth even during low-water or dry summer months-a rare and valuable feature on the lake. The home features a fully finished basement, five bedrooms, and two bathrooms, providing ample space for family, guests, or entertaining. The sizable kitchen, centered around an island with cabinetry, flows seamlessly into the formal dining room, where two large sliding glass doors open to a deck overlooking the water-perfect for enjoying sunsets, meals, and lake life views. Recent updates include the boat dock and seawall, adding peace of mind and functionality. New flooring in parts have also been updated. Throughout the home, it's evident this property has been well cared for and thoughtfully maintained over the years, something you can immediately see in both the condition and layout. Location is everything. You can't recreate this setting-you can only buy the land beneath it when it becomes available. Opportunities like this on Lake Sara don't come around often.
