The roomy screened porch is off the living room and overlooks the pond and lake. Just a few steps from the screened porch is a generous deck. There is a new 10 x 12 shed next to the deck. Drive or walk to the L-shaped newer boat dock for summertime lake fun. $1,000 one time membership fee upon club acceptance and $300 pr. yr. dues. Don't let this one get away!!!!
