Some homes are built to impress. Others are built to work for the way you live. This one does both. Set on a high, elevated .34 acre homesite in Yankeetown, this thoughtfully improved property offers a rare sense of independence. Space to spread out, room to think, and systems that simply make sense. The Craftsman-style main residence is solid and low-maintenance, featuring a metal roof (2017), HardiPlank siding, and new electrical panel box (2026), allowing you to focus on living rather than upkeep. Inside, the layout is efficient and comfortable, while the wrap-around porch naturally becomes part of daily life. Coffee, calls, sunsets, repeat. What truly sets this property apart is how well it adapts. A separate guest house creates real flexibility, whether you need a private workspace, extended-stay accommodations, or a quiet retreat away from the main home. Three additional structures support everyday living, not just storage. Including a stand-alone laundry and bath building with on-demand hot water, a bunkhouse with its own covered porch, and a workshop/tool shed that keeps gear, tools, and projects out of the main living areas. Outside, the layout is deliberate and organized for real use. A separate gated driveway keeps boats, trailers, or an RV staged and out of the way, while a covered carport protects vehicles and equipment. RV electric and water hookups are already in place, and the property offers plenty of room to host, work, and breathe without feeling cluttered. Survey available. And when you’re ready to step away, the water is close. The public boat ramp, marina, and shoreline just blocks away, without the noise, congestion, or maintenance demands of waterfront ownership. The setting remains quiet and residential, while still offering easy coastal access. This is not a showpiece. It’s a base of operations, a property that supports long days, early mornings, late returns, and everything in between. If you’re looking for something polished but practical, quiet but connected, and flexible rather than flashy, this property fits.
