There’s a certain kind of peace that only lake-life can give — and you’ll find it here, along 64 feet of private frontage on beautiful Big Platte Lake. Whether you call it home all year long or a cherished escape when the world moves too fast, this quaint cottage welcomes you with open arms. From the moment you step on the property you discover it's timeless character — vintage in spirit, yet thoughtfully cared for and lovingly maintained. Step out onto the oversized deck and take in the north-facing views that stretch across the horizon. Here, mornings begin with quiet reflection and a cup of coffee, and evenings bring stillness and stars. Inside and out, thoughtful details show through — from the durable composite roof built to last, to the lake-fed irrigation system keeping the lawn lush, to the plug-in generator that stands ready when storms roll through. The walkout lower level and stairs from the upper deck lead you to the backyard and shoreline, where memories are made one summer day at a time. Big Platte Lake is an all-sports lake, perfect for boating, swimming, and fishing. But it’s more than that — it’s a place to slow down, recharge, and feel grounded again. A place that reminds you that sometimes, the best moments are the simplest ones — just you, the lake, and the quiet feeling that tells you this is where you’re meant to be.
