Jackson Lake Dream Home! With over 500 feet of Jackson Lake shoreline, a kayaker's playground, a bird watcher's paradise, and a front-row seat to one of the most breathtaking views on the water - 451 Mayo Road is the one you've been waiting for! Built in 2023 and meticulously maintained, this stunning lakefront retreat offers the rare combination of modern finishes and true waterfront living in the heart of Newton County. With a southern exposure, nearly every room in the house captures gorgeous natural light throughout the day - and those late afternoon rays hitting the water? Absolutely breathtaking. The thoughtfully designed interior features floor-to-ceiling doors and windows along the back of the home, flooding the living spaces with natural light and framing the lake like a living work of art. A showstopping double-sided fireplace anchors both the living room and kitchen, creating a warm and inviting flow ideal for entertaining. The open dining area is surrounded by windows, and the upgraded kitchen features a butcher block island - functional, beautiful, and built to last. A convenient half bath rounds out the main level. The primary suite is located on the main floor and features a well-appointed en suite with a stunning stone shower. Upstairs you'll find two additional bedrooms and a full bath - plenty of room for family or guests. The oversized garage easily accommodates two full-size vehicles with room to spare for storage. Above the garage, a private studio apartment with kitchenette offers the perfect setup for in-laws, older teens, or guests who want their own space. Outside is where this property truly shines. Sitting on just under two acres at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, you'll have plenty of room to breathe, play, and spread out - all anchored by a nearly new floating dock and established riprap seawall. The covered patio is the perfect spot for dinners overlooking the lake, and stepping out through the French doors into that southern light never gets old. Over 500 feet of shoreline. All-day natural light. Incredible bird watching. Private guest suite. This one has it all - don't let it get away!

MSR
Mixed-Use Single-Family Residential District
The MSR Mixed Use Single-Family Residential District is composed of medium to high density residential developments of ten acres or more, along with other areas with special considerations where it has been shown that existing land use has included diverse types of single family dwellings, including manufactured and industrial housing and smaller dwelling units. The intent of this district is to provide areas in which manufactured homes can be intermingled with site built homes. Such development is encouraged along existing public facilities, but provisions are made for areas which require individual wells and/or septic tanks. The district is not designed to be used for individual lots with manufactured homes, and such zoning is prohibited.
