Property Description

Custom-built and thoughtfully designed, this lakefront ranch offers quality construction, privacy, and incredible versatility on 1.3 acres with 166’ of frontage. Built in 2001 with 2x6 construction and ADA-conscious design, the home features nearly 2,500 square feet on the main level with a full walk-out lower level, zero-entry access from the attached garage, and comfortable one-level living. The kitchen is designed with smooth cabinetry for easy cleaning and a contemporary feel, and the home includes central vacuum, two-zone furnaces (one recently replaced), on-demand hot water with circulation pump, and reflective window shades for energy efficiency. Insulation includes foam and cellulose in the ceilings and foam-insulated concrete walls, creating a comfortable and efficient living environment year-round. Enjoy the lake from the wraparound composite deck, while the steel seawall with stone backfill and engineered drainage provides shoreline stability with no seasonal water issues. The property experienced no water intrusion during historic flooding and does not require a sump pump. A standout feature is the Amish-built 40x60 outbuilding, offering exceptional flexibility. Half is heated and cooled and includes living quarters with a full bathroom, laundry, and kitchenette, while the other half provides a heated workshop or storage space with large overhead doors—perfect for hobbies, equipment, or guest overflow. Additional highlights include: large insulated attached garage, whole-house generator, electric at the lake, natural gas and high-speed internet. The grounds feature established rhubarb, asparagus, blueberries, raspberries, and two Gala apple trees, creating a beautiful and productive landscape. A shared private drive provides access, with deeded maintenance shared among users. The current owners have also paid $20,000 toward the lake assessment. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy lakefront living with space, durability, and incredible outbuilding amenities.
