Two exceptional properties in one! This unique Ponto Lake offering features a one-of-a-kind lake home with character throughout, 2.39 acres of expansive, meticulously maintained grounds and landscaping, 190 feet of hard sand-bottom shoreline along the clean, crystal-clear waters of Ponto Lake, a detached 2 car garage along with an impressive heated six-car shop with an additional 1,700 square feet of living quarters. The 1.2-acre lot with lake home parcel and residence were recently appraised at $719,000. The additional property includes approximately 1,700 square feet of living quarters, and is currently rented for $1,750 per month with a tenant that currently maintains the grounds and handles snow removal. The shop and guest cabin alone had a construction cost of approximately $400,000 in 2005. Both properties are being sold together, offering a rare opportunity to enjoy premier lake frontage, beautifully maintained grounds, substantial garage and shop space, and additional rental income in one Ponto Lake estate.
