This is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a nearly 1,600 sq ft lakefront residence for less than $300,000, situated on over an acre of land. The property boasts stunning views of Mill Creek Lake and the surrounding mountains, making it a hidden treasure in Amherst County. Constructed to meet the U. S. Department of Energy's high-efficiency standards, the home features amenities such as a hybrid electric/heat pump water heater, a smart thermostat, Low E windows, and Energy Star appliances. The 8'x16' deck overlooking the lake is ideal for summer evening gatherings. Mill Creek Lake provides recreational facilities, including a park with a boat ramp, docks, and a designated swimming area with a beach. The location offers convenient access to Amherst, Lynchburg, and Charlottesville. The rendering is similar to the finished product but will offer a front porch as well.
You want to definitely go see this nearly 3 acres lot that backs up to Mill Lake. Lot already has well, septic for 3BR home, & electricity. Part of the lot is cleared where the current home site is, & the rest is wooded that backs up literally to the lake. You can literally walk to Mill Lake Park, which offers fishing, boating, picnicking, & an array of wildlife. Beautiful views of surrounding mountains can be seen from the lot & lake area, & the area is very peaceful. The current single wide on property will be removed by the current owner as well. Bring your own plans to build, RV, or your manufactured home, & enjoy the views, peace, & lake that this area has to offer!
