    Overview

    Why spend half a million dollars or more to “experience lake life” when you can actually live lake life for a fraction of the cost… with lower taxes, less stress, and way more fun? This isn’t some uptight “don’t-step-on-the-grass” lake house. This is the place where: kids run barefoot all day, adults accidentally stay up until 1am around the firepit, somebody always loses at cornhole, and watching people struggle at the nearby boat ramp somehow becomes everyone’s favorite evening entertainment. The Setup: 3 bedrooms 2 full baths. Big kitchen & living room built for feeding hungry lake people. Large FLAT lakefront lot (rare and unbelievably usable). 60 feet of newly rocked shoreline. If you prefer lots so steep that goats have trouble climbing, those are selling for over $150K! Covered floating dock with power lift for pontoon or v-bottom boat. Massive firepit for stories, music, s’mores, and “remember when…” moments. Newer roof, gutters, decks, landscaping, water heater, shed, and more. The new 16x12 powered shed is big enough for: golf cart, riding mower,lake toys, coolers,fishing gear and all the stuff you swear you’ll organize someday. And yes… it’s a mobile home. You know what that means? LOW taxes. About $2,500 PER YEAR. Meanwhile your lake buddies are making mortgage payments that look like yacht payments just to achieve the exact same sunset. This place understands something important: Lake life was never supposed to be about impressing people. It is supposed to be about enjoying people. Volleyball in the yard. Squirt gun fights. Firepit and Dock beers. Morning coffee by the water. Last-minute weekends that become lifelong memories. Furniture, 2017 pontoon, golf cart, riding mower, shed tools, and more could even make this a true turnkey setup. So here’s the deal: You bring the check. We’ll hand you the keys. The lake will take care of the rest. Motivated Seller seeking serious buyer
