Welcome to 56 Drowsy Rd - a lakefront home in a well kept neighborhood on Rough River Lake. This 3-bedroom, 1-bath property sits on a flat, shaded lot that's all about convenience and lake life. From here, you're just 3 minutes to Nick's Boat Dock, 6 minutes to Rough River Dam State Resort Park, 7 minutes to the North Fork public ramp, and only 15 minutes to Hardinsburg or 22 minutes to Leitchfield. You'll also find local beaches, restaurants, and marinas all just a short drive away - making this one of the most convenient locations on the lake. Inside, the home feels warm and inviting with a brick fireplace, an open kitchen and dining area, and space that's just right for relaxing weekends or easy rental use. The sale includes most furnishings, so it's ready to enjoy from day one. Inside, the home has great bones and an inviting layout with a brick fireplace, open kitchen and dining area, and plenty of natural light. While move-in ready, it also offers cosmetic potential for someone looking to make it their own - whether that means updating the finishes, adding lake-inspired touches, or turning it into a profitable short-term rental. Most furnishings remain, making it easy to start enjoying or renting right away. The setting here is peaceful, surrounded by mature trees and a gentle yard that leads toward the stream below the house. The water level is temporarily lower as part of the Rough River Dam remediation project, but this home still offers a boat dock, peaceful waterfront views and direct access to the shoreline. Once the project is complete and the lake returns to its 495' summer pool, the dock will float and the setting will be even more impressive - bringing stronger views, better access, and a clear bump in value. With its central location, affordable price point, and long-term upside, 56 Drowsy Drive is one of the best opportunities on Rough River Lake - whether you're looking for a weekend getaway, a rental investment, or a smart buy before the lake's full return.
