About this home
Welcome to this truly one-of-a-kind estate with a guest house and hobby farm nestled on the serene shores of Howard Lake, just 30 miles west of Ridgedale Mall. This extraordinary property offers the perfect blend of lakefront living, country charm, and modern comfort. Set on 4.7 acres of beautifully landscaped perennial gardens and mature trees for ultimate privacy, it features 118 feet of pristine lakeshore and breathtaking views from one of the highest points on the lake. The completely renovated main residence boasts over 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, including a spacious main-level owner’s suite, gourmet kitchen, a cozy sunroom with stunning lake views, an indoor sauna, walk-out lower level and an open-concept floor plan ideal for entertaining. A covered breezeway connects the home to a 3-car detached garage. The charming original guesthouse has been completely updated and features an eat-in kitchen, living room, a main-level bedroom, plus a loft -perfect for guests or extended family. At the heart of the property is the stunning 1890s barn, thoughtfully repurposed into a multi-functional space with a woodshop, machine shop, original stables and an artist’s studio, all while preserving its original open-air upper level. Additional features include a new roof, geothermal heating and cooling, a dock, chicken coop and abundant outdoor living spaces to enjoy year-round. Howard Lake is a fantastic recreational lake, perfect for enjoying all your favorite summer activities -boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and more.

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.
