An exceptional opportunity to own a privately situated unrestricted 11+- acre recreational parcel near the shores of Center Hill Lake, just a stone's throw from the Johnson's Chapel boat ramp. Currently operating as a short-term rental retreat, the property features two custom glamping tents and a thoughtfully reimagined vintage Airstream, offering a turnkey escape immersed in nature. Designed for comfort while embracing the outdoors, the retreat includes a dedicated outdoor bathhouse and showers, blending rustic charm with modern convenience. The setting provides a peaceful, secluded atmosphere while remaining easily accessible for guests and owners alike.
