Big Branch Waterfront Retreat: Private Dock, Boat Lift, and Outdoor Adventure
Escape to this tranquil 3-bedroom raised home, nestled at the end of a small dead-end road, surrounded by serene marshland—an ideal retreat for nature lovers, offering privacy, adventure, and comfort all in one. Perfectly designed for outdoor enthusiasts, the home features direct water access with a private boat dock and lift, ideal for launching your next fishing or duck hunting trip. There’s even a fish cleaning station downstairs for added convenience after a successful day on the water and an exterior elevator for added accessibility.
Inside, the open floor plan provides a fully stocked kitchen and ample space to unwind after a day of adventure. Relax in the bathtubs or take advantage of the ample storage, including in the garages, making it perfect for longer stays.
