Step outside and experience what lake living is all about. The expansive lakeside deck is the perfect place to enjoy sunrise coffee, afternoon grilling, and evenings overlooking the water. Thanks to the desirable eastern exposure, you'll enjoy spectacular sunrises while avoiding the hot afternoon sun. A gentle walk leads to an impressive 197 feet of pristine shoreline, making it easy for all ages to enjoy the lake. With over 2,100 acres of water, Sauk Lake offers endless opportunities for boating, fishing, swimming, and making lifelong memories. After a day on the water, gather around the lakeside fire pit and enjoy peaceful evenings under the stars. Need room for visitors? The property also includes a separate guest cabin, providing additional sleeping space. While the cabin could benefit from updates, its separate parcel offers the unique opportunity to build a new structure within the existing footprint. Storage is abundant with a detached three-stall garage just steps from the home, a 24' x 26' steel building for your boat and recreational equipment, and a convenient lakeside storage shed for fishing gear, life jackets, and all your lake toys. Even better, the dock and boat lift are included, so you can start enjoying the lake from day one. Properties like this rarely become available. Offered for the very first time by its original owners, this exceptional lake home has been carefully cared for and is ready for its next chapter. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence or the ultimate family getaway, this is a place where memories will be made for years to come.
