LAKEFRONT living awaits at BARREN RIVER LAKE with this unique property offering endless potential. Nestled on a 0.42 +/- acre lot at the end of a quiet dead-end street, this home features a gentle slope from the backyard directly to the water's edge. The seller currently has a dock slip permit, which may transfer with Corp of Engineers approval, allowing the buyer the opportunity to request the slip transfer immediately after closing (if desired). The house itself has been fully gutted and is ready for a new owner to bring their vision to life. Offering approximately 1,834 Sq. Ft. of unfinished space, the home previously had three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a bonus room. A partial unfinished basement/cellar/fall-out shelter with its own separate entrance provides additional possibilities. Utilities including electric and water have been removed, and some flooring, walls, and windows have already been taken out in preparation for renovations. A concrete circular driveway adds convenience and curb appeal. This property is being sold As-Is, Where-Is, with no warranties implied. Buyer/Buyer's Agent to verify all information. Investors and visionaries take notice---complete the renovations and create your dream home or a fantastic getaway retreat right on Barren River Lake on a fantastic lakefront lot!
