About this home

Looking for the ultimate summer escape? This rare waterfront property blends relaxation and excitement. Inside, this cozy 2-bedroom home has an eat-in kitchen, living room, bathroom, front room, and a large loft. Believe it or not, it can sleep 10! Enclosed porch with water views. On the opposite side, for a little privacy, is a wooden deck with a round table seating 6. Public sewer and water. Newer electric service & panel box. New (2023) Mitsubishi electric heat pump + a few window AC units. New refrigerator (2025). This property has 2 sheds that include lawn tools, mower, etc. Most furnishings & contents will stay, so it will be ready to enjoy from day one. No cars or trucks on Sunset Island. Most cottage owners come by boat, which is another bonus since the seller is willing to include a 2019 Lowe pontoon boat, trailer, and slip @ Moyers Marina-2026 paid by seller! Families have been gathering on the island for generations, and it has a friendly family feel. There is a community center building for use, along with the island's own lending library/ snack shop. Also has a community park w/ tennis & basketball courts and swings. A local favorite restaurant directly across the water adds weekend live music, making summer nights vibrant and fun. A wonderful 3-season retreat!
