    Waterfront viewWood-burning fireplaceLake viewsOutdoor showerFreshly painted deckingCovered gazeboKitchen includes wood cabinetry
    Tucked into the trees with a true ''cabin in the woods'' feel, 488 Out Post Rd offers 0.65 acres of waterfront living with a boat dock and a peaceful wooded view of Rough River Lake. The home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and roughly 1,200 sq. ft. of living space, designed for easy lake days and cozy nights by the wood-burning fireplace. Inside, vaulted ceilings, wood-burning fireplace and waterfront view create the kind of character that defines a lake house. The kitchen includes wood cabinetry, bar seating, opening naturally to the dining and living areas so everyone stays connected. The main level holds one bedroom and a full bath, while a spiral staircase leads to two more bedrooms and a full bath upstairs. Outside, a wrap-around deck extends around three sides of the home and includes a covered gazebo, firepit area with a concrete pad, and an outdoor shower - perfect after a day on the water. Behind the home, a cliff line rises above the yard, creating a scenic backdrop that frames the outdoor space. The property also includes a dock located across the road to the left, a paved driveway with plenty of parking space, and freshly painted decking that gives the exterior a cared-for look. Out Post Rd offers convenient access to the lake, with Peter Cave Boat Ramp about 9 minutes away. Leitchfield is roughly a 15-minute drive, keeping stores and supplies within easy reach while maintaining the quiet pace of lake living. Well cared for homes with a boat dock, lake views and usable outdoor space are in high demand on Rough River Lake - making 488 Out Post Rd stand out as a strong opportunity for buyers.
