Nestled along shores of the private, spring-fed Lake Delancey in Fort McCoy, this inviting lakeside retreat is an ideal option for those who crave nature, water recreation, and room to personalize! Lake Delancey is accessible only by property owners along the lake, making it a perfect option for fishing, boating, and exploring year-round. Set on just under an acre, the home features a total of 2-bedrooms and 1-bath with over 1,200 sqft of comfortable living space. Stepping inside from the covered front patio, the living area has rustic appeal with a wood-burning stone fireplace and some built-in shelving, open directly to the dining area and the functional kitchen. Those who work from home will love the large formal office, which features breathtaking lake views through a semi-circular area with large bow-windows. This is an ideal space for remote work and has a rustic raw-wood finish that adds a sense of warmth to the room. There is plenty of opportunity to update and customize the home to suit your tastes, especially the large secondary bedroom/flex space that is suited for a variety of uses, even a future guest suite! Along the back of the house is a large covered patio with three ceiling fans and plenty of space for seating and entertaining, all overlooking the nearby lake. A private wooden dock with built-in seating and a table provides the ideal spot to cast a line, launch a kayak, or take in the serene view of the protected Ocala National Forest across the water— a feature that ensures your view remains untouched and natural. Additional features of note include the solid concrete construction, the durable metal roof, and the extensive hurricane shutters along the house that ensure safety during hurricane season. A separate powered workshop shares the same solid construction and provides even more options for projects, added storage space, and a covered area for vehicle parking or large equipment storage. With 100 feet of shoreline and endless natural beauty, this property is ready for your vision. Whether as a full-time residence or your weekend lakeside escape, the lifestyle here is all about fresh air, calm waters, and limitless outdoor enjoyment!
