Some places don't just hold square footage. They hold summers. The smell of sunscreen and charcoal. The sound of fireworks reflecting off the water. Kids jumping off the dock before breakfast. Late nights under the pergola long after the kids have gone to bed. This is what 1408 Nursery Ave on Governor Bond Lake has been quietly collecting for years, and now it's ready to start building yours. Just 50 minutes from downtown St. Louis, this 3.7-acre, 3-parcel lakefront retreat sits along the shores of 775-acre Governor Bond Lake in Greenville, IL. Stand at the water's edge and your eyes travel the full length of the lake, all the way down to the iconic railroad trestle. The fireworks launch July 4th every year, directly across the lake, front row right from your own dock. Over 300 feet of shoreline across three separate parcels, including one buildable lot. The 1,700+ sq ft, 6-bedroom, 3-full-bath home was built for this kind of living, big enough to host the whole crew, comfortable enough to stay all summer. Cathedral ceilings in the great room create an open, airy atmosphere perfect for gathering and entertaining. Outside, a 1,000 sq ft composite dock with pergola serves as your outdoor living room on the water. A second private dock includes both a boat lift and jet ski lift, and a sandy beach shoreline completes the picture. A separate lakeside building with its own kitchen, bathroom and storage adds even more flexibility for entertaining. A 20x45ft shed provides serious storage for all the toys, equipment, and gear that come with lake life. Labor Day weekends. Opening weekends. One-night trips that turn into four. This property has been the backdrop for all of it, and it is ready to do it again for whoever comes next. One of the finest views on Governor Bond Lake, packaged with space, infrastructure, and soul. This is more than a lakefront home. It is a legacy property. Call today for your private showing and come see what a summer full of memories looks like. Lot lines are estimated in the photos.
