About this home

Experience lake living with access to the Indian Chain of Lakes from one convenient location, including Messick, Hackenburg, Dallas, Westler, and Witmer Lakes. Enjoy two all-sports lakes along with three additional fishing lakes, all connected and accessible from this property. Offered for the first time since the 1970s, this west-facing lakefront home on Messick Lake provides beautiful sunset views and a rare opportunity to own a well-loved waterfront property. Conveniently located about 45 minutes from Fort Wayne, 35 minutes from Goshen, 2.5 hours from Indianapolis, and approximately 3 hours from Chicago. The home features 2 bedrooms, 1 full bath, a full walkout basement at lake level, 200-amp electrical service, and an oversized two-car garage, all situated on just under a quarter acre. Both the front and back yards offer plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. Outside, you'll find a glacial stone seawall, a 4-foot aluminum pier, and an exceptional beach with a firm sandy and stone shoreline that's ideal for swimming. Mature willow trees provide shade along the water, while the west-facing shoreline offers stunning sunset views. The property also includes a covered boat lift and three titled boats with trailers. Located on a quiet private road with no through traffic, the property offers excellent privacy, plenty of parking, and additional peace of mind with protected land behind the home that is unlikely to be developed. Whether you're looking for a year-round residence, a weekend getaway, or an investment opportunity for short-term rentals, this property offers outstanding lakefront value. There is also potential to add a third bedroom by converting the second living area on the upper level, along with an opportunity to expand the bathroom.
