Have your lake and beach it too at this spacious newly renovated lake front escape! Don’t let this drought hinder your lake vacation. Sandbox provides plenty of water access and a large beach.

Welcome to Sandbox, a private lakefront retreat with a rare sandy beach and exceptional waterfront amenities. Set on 3 secluded wooded acres, this newly renovated home offers spacious indoor and outdoor gathering areas designed for connection, relaxation, and fun. It is an ideal setting for large families, multi-family vacations, reunions, holidays, fishing trips, retreats, and getaways with friends. Inside, the open floor plan features soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, and beautiful views throughout, with plenty of room to gather as well as peaceful spaces to unwind. Sandbox is on a gentle slope to the lake and there is a golf cart provided to use on a designated path to and from the lake.

Sandbox is a hidden gem with a rare, expansive private sandy beach tucked in the center of a small cove just off a main channel, where calm waters are ideal for floating and swimming. Guests have plenty of room to spread out, whether they want to swim, sunbathe, build sandcastles, play beach games, launch paddleboards and kayaks, or simply relax by the water. The property also includes two paddleboards, a paddle boat, and a kayak for exploring the lake. Beach chairs, an umbrella, blankets, toys, and games are provided for added convenience.

The waterfront features a brand-new dock with a floating dock for easy water access, a spacious fixed dock for shaded or sunny lakeside lounging, and a large upper deck with sweeping views of the lake and surrounding landscape. The floating dock provides ample space for docking boats. A custom spiral staircase connects the main platform to the upper deck, adding a distinctive architectural touch and leading to one of the property’s most stunning vantage points. Start the day with sunrise views over the water or cast a line as fish gather near the dock. Spend afternoons swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, and sunbathing, then come together in the evening to enjoy the lake and colorful sunset skies. More than just a point of access, the dock extends the home’s living space and serves as one of the property’s most memorable gathering places.

The fully updated kitchen is designed for entertaining and gathering. It features an oversized island that serves as the heart of the home, complete with barstools made for dreaming while you gaze at the lake. Whether you are preparing meals, sharing stories after a day outdoors, or hosting a family dinner, the space was built for making memories. The fully equipped kitchen comes with an under-counter ice maker so there is no need to constantly buy bags of ice for those sizzling summer days.

With four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a flexible bunk room with two sets of bunk beds, this home comfortably accommodates large groups. Sandbox features two private lake-view primary suites. One is located on the top floor and includes a king bed, a twin bed, a shower, and a Jacuzzi tub. The other offers a king bed, a queen sleeper sofa, a newly renovated bathroom with a large shower, and private access to the backyard living area. Both suites offer beautiful sunrise views to start the day. The two additional bedrooms each have a queen bed and share a full bathroom with a shower. A fourth bathroom with a shower is conveniently located next to the mudroom, just inside the back entrance from the lake. The mudroom also includes a washer and dryer.

Relax in the large living room with a vaulted ceiling and windows to enjoy the property’s natural surroundings. Nap on the sectional couch or watch your favorite movie from the recliner. Attached to the living room is an open and airy screened/glassed-in porch. Surrounded by nature and offering beautiful lake views, it provides the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee, read a book, watch wildlife, or play games with family and friends. During a rainstorm, relax to the soothing sound of raindrops dancing on the metal roof while remaining comfortably sheltered. It's one of those simple pleasures that guests remember long after their stay.

The oversized game room offers entertainment for all ages, with a bar area, lounge area, Tornado Tournament foosball table, dart board, putting green, and a dedicated gaming space in the bunk room that creates the perfect hangout for kids and teens. Whether guests are enjoying movie nights, video games, board games, or rainy-day activities, there is plenty of room for everyone to relax and spend time together.
