This auction is truly a unique opportunity to secure a highly sought after location at Lake Wilson! With incredible privacy, unbeatable views of the Hell Creek Area, easy access of Highway 232 and close proximity to all that Lake Wilson has to offer, you do not want to miss this auction!
The home sits on a ridge top with 23 +/- surrounding acres consisting of steep cedar lined draws. Sitting on the highest point on the property, the home is perched about 100 ft above the water level of the lake. The private gated drive offers security and privacy. Although close to the lake, and all the activities, this property truely has a country feel.
There are no HOA's or any restrictions of use like many of the lake properties nearby. Therefore it would have incredible income potential as a nightly rental. Many of the homes in the area are prevented from being rented out, which would make this home and property unique.
Stepping inside the home, you will find 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms. A good sized family room and kitchen are located on the main level, with sliding patio door access to the covered deck with one of a kind views. Just inside off the deck is a half bathroom. Down the hall upstairs is the first bedroom and a laundry/utility room with access to the back deck. The master bed with en suite bath is at the end of the hall.
Downstairs is another living room, a rec room with access to the basement patio. Then two additional bedrooms and a full bath. There is also small safe room/storm shelter.
Additional outbuildings on the property include a 16' x 32' prefabbed shed, that has been completely insulated and finished off inside. A ductless mini-split system provides year round comfort. This shed has an overhead door on the end that would allow for storage of a small vehicle or side by side. There is also a small garden shed as well as a large 18'x30' three sided shed with concrete floor that would work great for seasonal boat storage.
The property is served by a 1000 gallon propane tank, that is owned by the sellers and will remain with the property.
The home has rural water for domestic use inside, but also has private well water at several hydrants around the home.
Wastewater is handled by a lagoon system.
