Nestled down a winding, tree-lined, and secluded road with over 3 acres of land is this stunning waterfront Lakehouse, offering privacy, serenity, and untouched natural beauty. The SonShine Cove sits just above the serene shoreline of Mayo Lake creating the perfect blend of rural charm and modern comforts. With windows throughout, nearly every room boasts breathtaking views of the sparkling water, providing a natural atmosphere that feels like an endless vacation. Here at the SonShine Cove you can enjoy your morning coffee on the expansive 590sqft deck as you watch the sunrise over the lake, or unwind in the evening amidst family and friends roasting s'mores by the firepit. Lay on the grass and stargaze in the evenings, or play tag with your grandkids under the mature pine trees. The bilevel floor plan includes 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a large downstairs Rec Room, perfect for billiards, board games, video games, or hanging out. Many aspects of the house were updated in 2017, including Luxury vinyl plank flooring, neutral paint throughout, and granite kitchen countertops. A new heat pump was installed in 2023, and the exterior just had a powerwash. The property also recently had an upgraded septic system installed to accommodate 4 total bedrooms. At the edge of the lake lies an adjacent floating dock leading to a quiet and discreet cove where the creatures of nature are your closest company. If you enjoy hunting, Mayo Game Lands offers 4,204 acres in Person County for year around recreation. Common species that can be found in this region include waterfowl, deer, foxes, turkey, quail, raccoons, and rabbits. When you're ready to leave your tranquil Lakehouse retreat and enjoy some social time, just 3 miles away is Mayo Lake Park, with a generous 120 acres of community walking trails, playgrounds, fishing, disc golf, paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, RV Campsites, restrooms/showers, and a fantastic boat launch. The property includes picnic shelters and a pavilion that hosts summer movies in the park and various live bands. The space is even rentable for family reunions, weddings, and more. DT Roxboro, only 13 miles south, offers restaurants, breweries, a theatre, and smalltown charm. A quick drive beyond DT Roxboro is Palace Pointe, an entertainment venue with a bowling alley, roller skating rink, billiards tavern, Dragon Arcade Den, movie theatre, axe throwing and the world's only authorized Gel Blasting Arena. Tunnel Creek Vineyards is only 12 miles away, and encompasses an award-winning wedding venue and wine tasting facility with spectacular views of the surrounding area. A bit further out, you will love the VA Intl Raceway, just 35mins away, offering world class road racing circuits and events for fans throughout the year. The VIR is known as America's first 'Motorsport Resort' offering skeet shooting, karting, rifle range, lodging and on-site restaurants. Another short drive westbound offers Caesars Virginia Casino and Convention Center, located in historic Danville, VA. This resort style destination offers world class dining, hotel, lounges, upscale bars, a relaxing spa, hot roman pool, and entertainment throughout the year. A full-service sportsbook with 5 betting windows and 21 kiosks (for those aged 21 and older) is one of the highlights of Caesars VA. Not only is this unique property the perfect location for enjoying some occasional night life and recreational activities, but it's a rare opportunity to see beyond the daily grind and consider how it could even be utilized as a vacation rental for potential passive income. The house is being offered fully furnished, making it perfectly turn-key and convenient to create quick cashflow. Similar properties in the area lease short term between $200-$400/nt. Whether you're longing to boat, fish, play, sunbathe on the floating dock, or invest in new opportunities, this property is an outdoor lover's paradise that blends recreation with relaxation.
