Improvements include cypress animal barns, equipment and tool sheds, and a fully enclosed cypress chicken/poultry coop, supporting a wide range of homesteading and small livestock operations. The surrounding natural habitat supports abundant wildlife including white-tailed deer, songbirds, and waterfowl, contributing to a quiet, rural setting away from typical urban noise. Inside the home, the spacious floor plan provides ample room for a large family or multi-generational arrangements. The great room offers a gas fireplace and expansive windows with panoramic views of the lake and property. An adjoining sunroom also features wide windows and opens onto a second-story deck that overlooks the private lake, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The primary bedroom connects to its own sunroom with similar lake views. The full basement, finished with cedar-lined walls, offers a substantial footprint for additional living area, storage, hobby space, or a storm shelter. A massive stone fireplace in the basement provides an efficient, reliable backup heat source during colder months. This property is well suited for a private family compound, self-sustaining lifestyle, or country retreat, offering turnkey rural living with privacy, water, and room to grow.
