    1228 Lake Forest Ln sits at the very end of the road - no traffic, just peace, privacy, and direct lake access in one of Rough River Lake's most established neighborhoods. Set on just over half an acre, this waterfront home offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and nearly 2,300 finished square feet across two levels. The main floor features a split-bedroom layout with a large primary suite that opens to the deck, plus a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. You'll also find new flooring and paint throughout, an eat-in kitchen with pantry, and a bright living area that flows out to both a screened-in porch and an open deck.. Downstairs, the finished walkout basement adds a second living space, a laundry room, storage, a bunk room, and a fourth sleeping area, giving you the flexibility to host up to 15 guests comfortably. Whether you're planning lake weekends, moving in full-time, or using it as a short-term rental, the layout works. The home includes a finished 2-car basement garage with power doors and a concrete driveway with plenty of parking space. It's part of a well-maintained restricted community that allows short-term rentals - giving you both structure and flexibility. And best of all, the property comes with its own private dock on the quiet North Fork section of the lake, known for calm water. Location-wise, you're just 11 minutes to the North Fork Boat Ramp, 13 minutes to Axtel Boat Ramp, 20 minutes to Rough River Dam State Resort Park, and about 25-30 minutes from Hardinsburg and Leitchfield. Whether you're trying to get on the lake full-time, need a place for weekend escapes, or want a setup that can pull double duty as a short-term rental  this one's got what most people are looking for. Waterfront. Dock out back. Room for a crowd.
