Why they chose this property
Our decision to choose this neighborhood was driven by a deep appreciation for the natural beauty and vibrant community spirit found here. The centerpiece of our affection is undoubtedly the lake—a sparkling jewel surrounded by lush landscapes that offer both tranquility and adventure. Whether it's serene mornings by the water, exhilarating afternoons of water sports, or peaceful evenings enjoying the stunning views, the lake has a way of enriching every day.
Beyond the allure of the water, the local parks add another layer of outdoor enjoyment. These green spaces serve as the community's backyard, where families gather, our children play, and neighbors connect, all under the canopy of mature trees and well-tended gardens.
The golf course is another gem that drew us to this neighborhood. Its well-designed fairways and greens offer both a challenging and rewarding experience for golfers of all skill levels, complemented by breathtaking views that make every round unforgettable.
Dining in Mt. Vernon is an adventure in itself, with restaurants that cater to every taste. From cozy cafes serving up homemade meals to fine dining establishments.
But what truly makes this neighborhood stand out is the spirit of the community. The warmth and friendliness of the people, combined with the rich tapestry of cultural and recreational activities, create a sense of belonging that's hard to find elsewhere. Whether it's community events, local markets, or just a spontaneous gathering of friends and neighbors, there's always something happening that brings people together.
In summary, it's not just one aspect that made us choose this neighborhood: it's the sum of all its parts—the lake, the parks, the golf course, the restaurants, and the unbeatable community spirit. Together, they create a living environment that's vibrant, fulfilling, and truly unique.

What makes this property unique
Our property offers a truly unparalleled experience, nestled in the heart of a serene lake that gifts us with the most breathtaking sunrises you can imagine. Imagine starting your day bathed in the soft, golden glow of dawn, a spectacle visible from the comfort of our lakeside haven, anywhere on the decks, docks, or backyard.
But what truly sets our property apart is the tranquil no-wake zone located directly in front of our dock. This ensures that your summer days are filled with peaceful, uninterrupted joy—whether it's taking a leisurely swim in the lake's crystal-clear waters, diving off the dock into the cool embrace below, or gliding silently across the surface in a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard. And for those who own a property in Apple Valley, the adventure extends to boating, offering an exhilarating way to explore the lake's expansive beauty.
As the sun sets and the day draws to a close, our custom-built fireplace awaits to provide warmth and ambiance. It's the perfect setting to unwind and reflect on the day's adventures, all while being serenaded by the soothing sounds of the lake's waves gently lapping against the shore. Our property doesn't just offer a place to stay; it provides a sanctuary where every moment becomes a cherished memory, set against the backdrop of nature's unparalleled beauty."
