    What's special

    Lakefront propertyImmediate lake accessFour-foot-wide pierFirm sandy swimming area
    Let your dreams become your reality....Opportunity meets waterfront living on beautiful Big Long Lake. This lakefront property has already been taken down to the studs, giving the next owner a true head start on creating the home or weekend retreat they've been dreaming about. Whether your vision is restoring the existing footprint or exploring future possibilities, much of the preliminary work has already been completed. The existing ranch offers approximately 765 square feet with a layout that previously featured two bedrooms and one full bath. The structure sits on a 50 x 120 lakefront lot with approximately 50 feet of shoreline and includes a firm sandy swimming area, a four-foot-wide pier, and exceptional views across one of northeast Indiana's most desirable all-sports lakes. Several valuable improvements and planning items are already in place. A new well has been installed. Electrical service is on site and currently disconnected. A recent survey, elevation certificate, and geotechnical soil boring report have been completed, providing valuable information for future planning. The custom home concept shown in the marketing materials was professionally designed for this property and may be purchased separately outside of the sale if a buyer wishes to pursue that vision. The boat and lift shown are excluded from the sale but may also be available through a separate transaction. Located in the heart of Big Long Lake, this property offers the rare chance to start with a clean slate while enjoying immediate lake access, incredible views, and a location convenient to Shipshewana, Fort Wayne, and the Notre Dame area. If you've been waiting for a waterfront project where much of the groundwork has already been done, this is an opportunity worth seeing.
