About This Home

Enjoy lake life on beautiful North Lake Lida! Situated on the west side of the lake, this nice and flat property offers 75 feet of shoreline, an included dock, and wonderful lake views. The 728 square foot home features 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, updated cabinetry in the kitchen and bathroom, a gas fireplace, and a furnace for added comfort. Relax in the screened-in porch overlooking the lake, or head down the permanent stairs approximately 15 feet in elevation to your private shoreline and dock. A 1-stall garage provides additional parking and storage for your lake gear. The 100-gallon propane tanks are also included, and the septic system was replaced in 2021. This lot offers great potential for those who would consider living in the current home while they build a new one on the lot.
