Magnificent Lake Moses!
Prepare to be captivated by this exceptional lakefront retreat, set on more than 2.5 beautifully landscaped acres with 190 feet of pristine, sandy shoreline. Whether you're savoring spectacular sunsets from the lakeside patio or listening to gentle waves and the laughter of children playing in the water, this property is a true slice of paradise.
Immaculately maintained and thoughtfully designed, the home blends rustic charm with upscale finishes. The stunning Great Room features soaring 22-foot cathedral ceilings, a wall of windows framing breathtaking lake views, and a cozy stone fireplace. A comfortable loft with a view is perfect as a home office, reading nook, or workout space.
The open-concept layout makes entertaining easy, with a chef’s kitchen boasting solid-surface countertops, a large island, and a built-in beverage fridge—ideal for gathering with friends and family. The showstopper? An expansive 3-season porch where you can enjoy cool summer nights, completely bug-free.
With 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a bonus room above the heated garage, there’s room for everyone. A spacious walk-out family room and main floor laundry with generous storage add daily convenience. Additional storage options include a lower-level utility room, an oversized attached 2-car garage, and a 36x40 detached garage—plenty of space for boats, vehicles, gear, or hobbies.
All of this sits on one of the cleanest lakes in the area, known for its impressive 20-foot water clarity, and is just 15 minutes from I-94. Fish, swim, boat, or simply relax —this is lake life at its very best.
