Imagine a place where weekends stretch a little longer, where the water glistens just beyond your backyard, and where every season brings a new chapter of memories with the people who matter most. This exceptional waterfront retreat on Lake Monroe offers a rare opportunity to own direct lakeside property with a private boat dock—something seldom found on the lake. Here, life naturally slows down and moments together take center stage. Picture mornings with coffee on the deck as mist rises over the water, afternoons spent boating, swimming, or paddleboarding just steps from your home, and evenings gathered around the lakeside firepit while the sunset paints the sky in brilliant colors. The expansive outdoor space invites connection and leisure—volleyball matches, croquet in the yard, grilling with friends, or simply relaxing while guests enjoy the open green space. Whether this becomes your everyday sanctuary or a cherished second home, the setting is designed for lake living at its very best—easy, relaxed, and centered around time together. Set on approximately 0.8 acres bordering the shoreline, the property offers rare direct access to the lake and a covered boat slip with electricity and a boat lift, just a short stroll from the home—making spontaneous lake days effortless. The custom-built Amish home was thoughtfully designed to celebrate its surroundings, featuring energy-efficient 2x6 construction and water views from every room. Quality craftsmanship is evident throughout with solid wood doors, Andersen windows, and high-end custom window treatments. The flexible layout accommodates both comfortable everyday living and hosting guests: Main Level: Spacious primary suite with ensuite bath, living room, den with custom fireplace, kitchen, dining area, sunroom, laundry room, and half bath. Upper Level: Two generously sized bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath, plus a large bonus room over the three-car garage ideal for a recreation space, office, or additional bedroom. Three-Car Garage: Oversized with a dedicated workshop area—perfect for hobbies, lake gear, or storage. Originally featured in H&L magazine, the home reflects thoughtful design, enduring craftsmanship, and a setting that celebrates lakeside living. Properties offering direct waterfront access with a private boat dock on Lake Monroe are truly rare. If you’ve been searching for a place where traditions can grow, this is could be it!
