Wake up to peaceful lake views and a setting that offers space to spread out, unwind, and enjoy the outdoors on Portage Lake. With 3.3 acres to enjoy, this newly built barndominium-style home blends modern finishes with natural surroundings. The thoughtfully designed side-by-side layout is ideal for multi-generational living, hosting family and friends, or creating separate living spaces under one roof. Each side features its own living room with vaulted ceilings, bedroom, and bathroom while still offering shared spaces to gather and connect. Separate exterior entrances and pocket doors between the two living spaces allow the option to open the home for gatherings or close off the areas when needed. At the center of the design is a shared kitchen with breakfast bar seating & amazing lake views. There is also a laundry room and mudroom entrance from the garage that ties the layout together. Built for year-round comfort, the home features spray foam insulation for energy efficiency along with an on-demand boiler system and air-to-air exchanger. The oversized garage area provides exceptional space for vehicles, recreational equipment, storage, hobbies, or entertaining, along with an upper loft area for even more flexibility. Need more space in the future? Lots of potential here! Step outside to enjoy mature trees, wooded walking trails, lush landscaping, and open green space ideal for yard games, evenings around the fire, or simply taking in beautiful sunset views over the lake. RV hook-ups make it easy for family and friends to bring their campers for weekend stays. State land across the lake helps preserve the natural scenery and peaceful setting for years to come. Portage Lake offers excellent year-round fishing with nearby public access. If you’ve been searching for a property that offers flexibility, room to gather, and a setting that feels away from it all, this lakeside opportunity is worth a look!
