It is well suited for Airbnb investors, full-time lake living, or developers seeking a distinctive project. With generous space and flexible use, the property offers many ways to create something truly special. The existing home provides a solid starting point with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an attached garage. It offers excellent potential for renovation or redesign to match a variety of visions.
