Especially suited for the couple or single person preferring low taxes (approximately $600 annual), someone wanting to live in a quiet neighborhood near a lake. Speaking of affordable fees, the lake association is only $30 plus an optional $110 for ANNUAL trash removal.

Home could be a vacation rental, short term month-to-month or by the week. If you want to rent after purchasing, it pays for itself. If you need a vacation spot, call for details.  

If you are the one wanting an affordable, really nice single story with only two tiny rear stairs and the lake nearby....

The pink glow of sunset cast over the Koontz Lake area every evening, the Canada geese landing on the lake and birds settling in for the night make this a quiet place to rest.
