Set on 704-acre Balch Lake, this inviting waterfront retreat offers 154 feet of privately owned sandy frontage with a dock, multiple lounging areas, and a shoreline that invites long summer days by the water. Sitting on a well-maintained private road, the setting feels peaceful and tucked away, yet remains easily accessible and just minutes from Province Lake Golf Course and nearby snowmobile trails for year-round enjoyment. Inside, the home was thoughtfully renovated in 2001 to create the perfect blend of classic lake charm and an open, airy layout designed to capture the water from nearly every angle. The living, dining, and kitchen spaces flow seamlessly together, all oriented toward the lake, with exposed beams, warm wood finishes, and a beautiful stone hearth that adds both character and comfort. Sliders lead to an expansive deck overlooking the water, an ideal spot for morning coffee or evening unwinding. Outdoors, the sandy waterfront provides easy access for swimming and boating. In the pictures you will see the end piece of the dock set partially on the beach which will be attached to the end of the existing dock soon! Balch Lake itself is known for its marina, multiple sandbars, and vibrant yet relaxed lake lifestyle. A true lakeside escape with room to grow, this is the kind of property that feels like summer the moment you arrive.
