Escape to your own slice of waterfront paradise with this charming cottage on highly sought-after Powell Lake. The spacious loft serves as a comfortable primary bedroom, offering plenty of room along with a large closet, while a main-floor bedroom provides additional sleeping space. The main living area is designed to showcase the lake, with rear-facing windows offering beautiful sunrise views throughout the year as the sunrise shifts across the horizon with the changing seasons. Outside, steps lead directly to your private dock, making it easy to enjoy boating, fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing beside the water. The deck and patio provide inviting spaces for entertaining, enjoying morning coffee, or taking in the peaceful surroundings. A large detached 32x28 garage is heated and insulated, providing excellent space for vehicles, boats, ATVs, storage, and serious workshop projects. It also includes a large commercial-grade stationary air compressor. A separate smaller pole-barn-style outbuilding currently serves as a woodshed but offers additional covered storage and enough space to park a vehicle or recreational equipment. Whether you are searching for a year-round lakeside retreat or the perfect summer getaway, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautiful cottage on one of the area’s most desirable lakes.
