Lake Home For Sale

This One-of-a-Kind Woodsy Lakefront Cottage offers an incredibly peaceful full-time or seasonal retreat overlooking the spectacular clear waters of Bull Shoals Lake and pristine Drury-Mincy Conservation land. Situated on 5.98 wooded acres bordering protected Corps of Engineers lakefront, this charming 2BR/1BA home offers plenty of comfy-cozy living space with main level kitchen, dining and living rooms, full bath, laundry and expansive pantry. The master bedroom and guestroom are just up the stairs. This well-appointed lake cottage overflows with natural light, casual decor and unique conversation pieces everywhere you look. You will absolutely love entertaining family and friends at Melrose Cove. Step outside to enjoy panoramic views, easy lake access and a whimsical 300SF outdoor screened kitchen and gathering nook. Hidden beneath autumn leaves you'll find rock-embellished flower beds, foot paths, 4x12 raised gardens, storage building with open and enclosed areas, a wire-covered chicken coop and court. With almost 400ft of lake frontage and a meandering trail that gently descends from the house to the water's edge, you've got a perfect spot for taking a dip or launching a kayak. Best of all, you'll experience nature in its glory without houses or boat docks to spoil the view. Custom built in 2009, this home also has OFF-GRID potential when combining solar panels, propane and wood stoves. Just ask its owners who enjoyed their first 7 years without electricity. Of course, these days the property is conveniently connected to White River Electric and amply served by its own private well and septic. Property is accessed by a legal easement road with an electric entry gate. Maintenance of the private road is minimal; expenses are shared by the immediate neighbors. Furnishings may be negotiable. Your lakefront getaway is ready and waiting, and it's still just an hour from Branson entertainment and attractions.
