Set on 1.31 private acres surrounded by mature trees, this remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers a peaceful setting with plenty of elbow room between neighbors and quick access to the water. The property is part of a waterfront community near Cave Creek Cove, where residents enjoy neighborhood access to Rough River Lake for fishing, kayaking, and swimming in a quiet, no-wake area of the lake. The Cave Creek section is one of Rough River's most scenic stretches, lined with tall rock cliffs and boulders that's perfect for exploring by boat. From the community access, you can reach the Cave Creek Boat Ramp directly across the bay in just a few minutes by water, or cruise to popular spots like Big Bay and Sandy Beach nearby. Less than 15 minutes from a boat ramp and about 25-30 minutes from Hardinsburg or Leitchfield, this home delivers an ideal mix of convenience, privacy, and lake access in one of Rough River's most beautiful areas on the water. Making this home ideal for a full time residence as well. The home itself has been updated with thoughtful touches throughout. Inside, you'll find fresh paint (2026), new flooring, and a remodeled kitchen featuring stone countertops, a tile backsplash, and a large farmhouse-style sink. The open living area includes an electric fireplace, a 65-inch smart TV, and plenty of seating for family and friends to gather after a day on the lake. Three bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations, including one with twin beds, one with a fishing theme, and a primary suite with its own private bath and direct porch access. A second full bath and laundry room round out the main level. Step outside to a wraparound deck that overlooks a shaded, well-kept yard with room for games, grilling, or evenings around the firepit. Two storage sheds, and plenty of level parking add to the home's functionality, with space for your boat, trailer, or guests' vehicles. The detached bunkhouse provides additional sleeping space, complete with electric service, an AC unit, and room for a bed, couch, and table, making it ideal for extra guests, a game room, or future conversion into a full guest suite. This property is stocked with everything you need to start enjoying it right away and furniture is negotiable. It's currently used as a short-term rental, earning praise for being spotless, well-stocked, and family-friendly. This home captures everything people love about the Rough River lifestyle without the waterfront price tag. A quiet and private setting and close proximity to the lake's best coves and boating destinations.

This expansive lake area lot gives you all the space you need to spread out and get away! The main house, bunk house, two additional out buildings & fire pit span the +/- 1.3 acres with room to spare. The mature trees surround the property with shade, but there's still a back yard perfect for a garden and game of corn hole. Easy walking path to the lake for swimming, fishing & kayaking on Rough River. No private dock associated with the property, but there is a community slip. Ironically the funny street name is Old Fat Bruce, but there is opportunity for activities galore when you live here. Cave Creek Cove's no wake zone is ideal for water fun, Cave Creek Hiking Trail offers alternative outdoor fitness, put your boat in the water at the nearby launch, while Cave Creek Campground is so convenient for more friends & family to visit - although you will likely have plenty of space right there at home. The main house has an oversized primary bedroom with walk-in closet and full bathroom, while there are two more bedrooms with closets of their own, and a full bathroom & laundry area off the hall. The open kitchen/dining/ living area with electric fireplace make this home a great option for a full timer or part time lake retreat all year around. Should you decide to offer short term rentals (because you can!), the bunk house is the deciding factor to make this the one! This cute-as-can-be studio space could host several guests, with multiple beds, and a living area & table of it's own. Come check 369 Old Fat Bruce Rd. out in-person to imagine spending your mornings on the wrap around deck drinking your coffee in this peaceful spot or gathering your loved ones to have dinner outside before the summer sunset. This property has everything you need to get away, relax and make memories.
