After eight rewarding years as a secondary home and short-term rental, 712 Birch Hollow Dr, a cozy lake retreat is ready for its next chapter – and perhaps yours. Tucked away in the quiet, peaceful community of Birch Creek Forest, it’s literally only a couple blocks away from the calming waters of Lake Somerville and is easily accessible from the community boat ramp right down the road. Situated on the middle of four lots, this home offers loads of outdoor space to enjoy games and recreation, enjoy a cookout in the shade, whittle your cares away on the back porch, or just nap lazily in the backyard hammock under a canopy of shade trees. There are just so many places to spend your time here. It feels like someone designed this home with entertaining in mind from the very start. Home has an electrical RV hookup along the driveway at the house. This property includes four tracts, see tax id numbers. Home is being sold fully furnished. SF reflects total of both the main home and ADU.
