Private Lake...Private Lifestyle...A Rare Opportunity, Where Every Day Feels Like a Weekend.. Discover one of Douglas County's hidden gems in Private Lake Estates, where approximately 200 feet of level sandy shoreline and nearly 2.7 beautifully landscaped acres create an exceptional lakefront retreat. This unique private lake offers approximately 40 acres of woods across the lake with shared ownership, providing peaceful surroundings, outstanding fishing, swimming, kayaking, and a lifestyle that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. Designed to embrace the lake, this spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath walkout rambler offers approximately 2,512 finished square feet with beautiful water views. The updated kitchen features abundant cabinetry, stainless appliances, generous workspace, and flows seamlessly into inviting living and dining areas designed for gathering with family and friends. A lakeside four-season porch, spacious deck, and walkout lower level extend your living space while capturing the beauty of every season. Outside, the gently sloping lawn leads to an inviting sandy beach and private dock where days are spent swimming, fishing, boating, or simply relaxing by the water's edge. A standout feature is the impressive 1,400+ square foot heated attached garage with dedicated workshop space and its own deck space, ideal for storing lake toys, vehicles, recreational equipment, or pursuing hobbies year-round. An additional storage shed provides even more room for seasonal equipment and outdoor gear. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence or the perfect lake getaway, this property offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation, and space just minutes from Alexandria. Experience lake living the way it was meant to be.

How SODL buyer credits work
When you buy with SODL, the brokerage charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. The remaining buyer-side commission (typically 3% of the purchase price) is credited directly back to you at closing, reducing the cash you bring to the table.
- Tour homes with SODL’s flexible showing network
- Submit offers and manage your transaction through the platform
- Keep more money at closing through transparent flat-fee pricing
A clear, modern way to buy with expert guidance and meaningful savings.
