What's special

Your Weekend Getaway, Every Day? Have you ever dreamed of having a weekend getaway? What if home was the getaway, every single weekend? Imagine slow mornings on the back porch, afternoons on the water, and evenings watching unforgettable sunsets stretch across Lay Lake. Set on the main channel with year-round water and approximately 7 ft at the boathouse, this all-brick 4BR/4.5BA home was built for lake living with over 100 feet of flat lake frontage. This home was stripped down to the studs and completely rebuilt from the ground up. Every bedroom has its own en-suite bath, while the lower-level entertaining space opens directly to the in-ground fiberglass pool and lake beyond. The boathouse features two 10,000-lb lifts, and the property includes a 16x40 heated and cooled shop with insulation, a 50-amp camper hookup, and plumbed air compressor. Private, peaceful, and made for gathering—this is the kind of place that makes you stop waiting for the weekend. Open ALL Labor Day weekend!
