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.
