CUSTOM FLORIDA LAKE HOUSE CHARM, EXCEPTIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP, AND PEACEFUL WATERFRONT LIVING ON BEAUTIFUL MILES KALE LAKE! Welcome to the Big Green House, a truly distinctive waterfront retreat where remarkable craftsmanship, warm natural wood finishes, and the timeless beauty of Old Florida come together! Nestled along the shores of spring-fed Miles Kale Lake in Fort McCoy, this beautifully maintained and fully furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence offers an inviting combination of character, spacious living, and thoughtful improvements. Extensively rebuilt and expanded in 2004, the home features updated plumbing, electrical wiring, roof trusses, a standing-seam metal roof, and Hardie board exterior siding. Step inside and immediately appreciate the soaring vaulted ceilings, abundant natural light, and beautiful tongue-and-groove woodwork that create an atmosphere unlike anything you'll find in an ordinary subdivision. The spacious great room provides a wonderful gathering place for family and friends, while the open kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas range, generous cabinetry and counter space, a center island with breakfast seating, and an adjoining dining area. Both bathrooms reflect the exceptional cleanliness and care evident throughout the home. Step outside onto the spacious screened waterfront porch, where mornings begin with coffee overlooking the lake and evenings invite you to relax while enjoying the peaceful surroundings and abundant wildlife. According to the longtime owners, Miles Kale Lake is a natural spring-fed lake with a sandy bottom, gradual shoreline slope, and areas of deeper water, offering an inviting setting for fishing, kayaking, boating, and water-sports. With relatively little boat traffic reported by the owners, the lake provides a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Accessed from NE 105th Avenue Road, a quiet dirt road, the property offers a peaceful setting away from busy streets. Offered furnished, including appliances and household essentials, this property is ready for its next chapter! Previously used as a vacation rental, the Big Green House has welcomed paying guests, including repeat visitors who have returned to enjoy this special waterfront setting. Selected rental reservation and payment documentation is available for review, providing additional information for buyers interested in exploring continued vacation rental use, subject to applicable regulations.
