The property sits on level, wooded ground throughout W Lakeshore Dr with natural tree cover providing consistent privacy from the road and neighboring properties while interior acreage offers plenty of elbow room for homesite placement, cabin footprint, trails, or recreational use without feeling cramped. An existing 12 x 12 hunting cabin already stands on the property, providing immediate character and practical utility as a foothold while longer-term plans develop.
