Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. The lower level adds even more versatility with a fourth bedroom, full bath and den, creating a private space for guests or simply spreading out. Step outside and the real magic begins with the covered patio and completely redone, expansive Trex deck, creating multiple areas for grilling, dining, lounging and entertaining. Head down to the private dock to hop on the boat, launch the paddleboard, take a swim or spend the afternoon simply soaking up the view. With a circular drive, two outbuildings, a private waterfront setting and plenty of outdoor living space, there is room here for all the things that make lake living special. The result is a home that blends the best of two worlds: the warmth and charm of a rustic retreat with the endless recreation of waterfront living. Come for the views. Stay for the cozy cabin feel. Leave with a whole new appreciation for lake life. This is the kind of place where dinner moves outside and ordinary days start to feel a little more like vacation.
