Are you looking for some peace and serenity in your life? I've got just the spot for you! Located on beautiful Lay Lake is the lake cottage you've been wanting! A true A-frame that sits on a great lot that has water on three sides. It is rare to find deep waterfront on Lay but this one has it! Approx. 6ft deep at the pier and 30ft in the slew. The house was custom built by the owners and is adorable on the inside. The 3 large sliding glass doors in the living room give you a perfect view of the water! The loft area is fantastic and has room for bunk beds and a sitting area. Beyond the loft there is a bedroom, full bath & balcony. A screened-in porch and a deck that wraps to both sides of the house on main level is fantastic for entertaining. There is a detached garage and a carport for parking. The location is perfect! Right around the corner are two marinas that serve food, gas and fun. Fishing is fantastic and plenty of room for all the boating fun. This one won't last long!
