About the host
Hosted by Michele Dart
We have always dreamed of owning our own lake house. We enjoy boating, fishing and relaxing by the fire at night. However, it is always work first and play later. It seems we always have a long list of projects. It might take us a while to complete our tasks, but it is such a feeling of satisfaction when we can check off another item on our to do list.
Why they chose this property
We were looking for a property on a bigger body of water that was close enough drive to without spending too much time on the road. We had been looking for a couple of years and it was not easy to find what we were looking for at a decent price that didn't sell the next day. I saw the listing for Overlook Lakehouse and it was on the market for a while, so we put in an offer. I was originally told it was under contract, so our offer was not accepted. A few days later the realtor called and said it was back on the market. We put in our offer and after some negotiating the offer was accepted.
What makes this property unique
Even though the property is not on the water, there is a view of the lake from every window. The right of way for the lake is kiddy corner across the street allowing for easy access to the lake via kayaks. The property has a lot of history of founders and early developers of the lake. There are remnants of the old well and other structures on the property. We often find little hidden treasures when we are working on our projects.
