The Outdoor Enthusiast
“Duck hunting and ice fishing from your own dock.”
Direct water access to Lake Erie — hunting and fishing from your property
Room for a private dock — boating and kayaking from home
Proximity to conservation areas and hiking trails
Ravine, treed lot — natural setting with genuine privacy
Year-round road access — this isn’t a seasonal property
Meghan’s Take
“Properties like this come up rarely — waterfront acreage on Lake Erie with this level of finish, smart home integration, and income history doesn’t stay on the market. The outdoor kitchen and patio alone are worth a showing. The bunkie, the dock access, the renovated primary suite — this is a property that delivers on multiple levels simultaneously. If any part of this matches what you’ve been looking for, call me before someone else does.”
