I am posting this property (per the owner's permission) because it is one of the BEST Deals available in Christmas Lake Village and I must admit that is my dream home and while part of me prefers it doesn't sell (because in 5 years I should be in the position to upgrade) --- it truly deserves to be put in the spotlight.

The facts are:

  1. The owners had the option to buy a lakefront lot for approximately $45,000 - $95,000; lakefront lots are pricey and getting scarce, but they realized that they would have to downgrade their homeplans in order to compensate for the price of having a bonafide "lakefront" location.

  2. After careful consideration, they decided that it just wasn't worth giving up the amenities inside the home; a home they would be living in daily just so they could say they had a "Lakeview". So they set out to find the opposite end of the spectrum - which was "Privacy".

  3. The owners found a lot in a location that pretty much guaranteed them the privacy they wanted for this custom built home and were thrilled to find out they could also buy the lot right next to it which of course even improved that guarantee; so in 2005 - this incredible home on 2 lots --- happened.

I Think You Can See What An Incredible Deal This Property Is!

And The Kicker Is --- The Asking Price is Only $349,900

IT APPRAISED FOR $390,000 in 2005-06!

And Something To Think About Is: 
If this property were "Lakefront" --- it would be $500,000 EASY!

Anyone Who Owns Property in Christmas Lake Village can rent a boat dock on the Big 217 Christmas Lake for only $50 Per YEAR! (2008) ... So why pay $45,000 - $95,000 for a LOT???
Put that money into the home that you will be waking up to every single morning & drive over to the boat dock to spend the day out on the lake! Makes Sense To Me!

I HAVE AN AGREEMENT WITH THESE OWNERS SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TOUR THIS PROPERTY - YOU WILL NEED TO CONTACT ME IN ORDER TO DO THAT.
