1.23 acres at Lobster Lake lot with an easy slope down to 221 feet of frontage. Lobster, named after the crustacean it resembles from the air, has many bays & over 17 miles of shoreline (for comparison, Lake Carlos has 12.83 miles). Ideal for touring & fishing. The view towards the lake is west/southwesterly so sunsets will be yours to enjoy from inside or outside the home, or ideally, from the shady lakeside retreat of the screened in gazebo (it has power and a ceiling fan). The home is an energy efficient partial earth home w/a hollow-core slab ceiling, which should be ideal for adding a 2nd story if desired, topped by recently added cedar shakes. 3 of the 4 bedrooms are lakeside & the 4th bedroom would also be an ideal office space. Also, ideal for light sleepers. The lake bottom in front of the property is hard & there are some weeds as swimming & boating has been infrequent for many years. Golden Drive is a quiet, dead-end drive & a wetland is across the road from the home.
