Overview

Description

Lake life without the usual price tag. This Lake Union property offers 176’ of shoreline on 2.23 acres in a private, wooded setting just minutes from Alexandria. A creek winds through the backyard, drawing in wildlife. Yes, including a Bald Eagle nest, creating a setting that feels miles away from everything. New composite decking gives you a front-row seat to it all, whether it’s morning coffee or happy hour! The home is built for ease with durable steel siding and low-maintenance ownership, so you spend more time enjoying the lake and less time working on it. Opportunities like this, solid condition, acreage, privacy, and shoreline are getting harder to find. If you’ve been waiting for an affordable entry into the Alexandria lakes area without sacrificing setting, this is one worth a look.
