## Description

### Agent Description
This exceptional lakeview property offers the perfect blend of lifestyle & investment potential. Designed for comfortable full-time living or effortless second-home enjoyment, it delivers the peace, views, and outdoor access that make lake living so desirable. Beyond being a beautiful place to call home, the property has a proven track record as a high-performing short-term rental. Successfully operated as an Airbnb house for multiple years, it boasts an outstanding 4.95 star guest rating, demonstrating consistent demand, strong reviews, & reliable income history. Adding even more value, the property includes an additional barn that presents a unique opportunity for supplemental rental income-whether used for storage rentals, event space, or creative income-producing possibilities (subject to buyer use & local regulations). Whether you're looking for a serene lakeside residence, a turnkey short-term rental, or a hybrid lifestyle-investment property, this home checks every box with location, performance, & future income potential.
