Tired of the chaos and uncertainty of the world? If you are looking to escape to a safe place -- at the end of a private lane, in the middle of the woods, and in a well-protected cove – as well as wonderful neighbors who look out for one another. THE BAD NEWS: Although we thought this was our final stop in life, we were called to Ecuador four years ago and agreed to sell our beloved home to a family who were, unfortunately, unable to maintain the property or the payments. At this time, we have a dear property management friend who has overseen a very thorough deep cleaning of the main house, professional carpet cleaning, yard care, removal of trailer loads of "stuff", painting of guest apartment, and dock repair. SOME OF THE PHOTOS YOU SEE HERE ARE FROM WHEN WE OWNED THE HOME AND ARE NOTED AS 2015. So, although the guest apartment was just painted in June 2020, the exterior of the cedar-sided main house is in need of staining and trim repair, as well as a few places of interior drywall repair and painting. Other projects include replacing the steps and retaining wall between the drive and back deck. We have had the dock's access ramp repaired and brought the dock permit up to date, but it could sure use a power washing to remove the vegetative growth and 4 years of mud daubers nests. While we were grandfathered in by GRDA who oversees the Lake, the dock will eventually require encapsulated foam. Due to some deferred maintenance issues, the property is priced to sell (without a realtor and associated commissions) at $325,000 -- CASH OFFERs Now is the time to make this your forever home, your dream retreat, your safe haven and enhance it even more with your own distinctive decorator touch.
