If you know Center Hill Lake, you know a 180-degree panoramic view like this is one of the rarest things on the water. From the double-decker covered back porch of this 3 bed, 3 bath home, the lake fills your entire field of vision — the kind of view that stops people in their tracks the first time they see it.
Set in the sought-after Falling Water Retreat community, you're about a minute from the community boat ramp, with Sligo Marina, Johnson Chapel Recreation Area, and Ragland Bottom all close by. There is no HOA, and short-term rentals are allowed — so this works as a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or an income-producing lake investment.
The main level offers 1,647 sq ft of comfortable living space, and the basement mirrors that same footprint — currently unfinished and wide open to become additional bedrooms, a game room, or a guest suite, effectively doubling your usable square footage. Two covered parking spaces, septic, and a 1990 build with solid bones.
Views like this can't be manufactured — you either have the lot or you don't. This one has it.
