Home overlooks Long Lake near Ingleside
This fabulous, recently-remodeled cedar home is located on one of the best kept secrets in Lake County — Long Lake near Ingleside. Long Lake is one of the smaller and more secluded waterways in the 15-lake Chain O’ Lakes.
The 335-acre lake, which offers outstanding opportunities for boaters, sailors, fishermen and water skiers, absent the crowds found on some of the area’s larger lakes, is connected to Fox Lake by a series of channels.
Long Lake is well known for sailing and year-round fishing, including ice fishing. Other sports permitted on or near the lake include jet skiing, canoeing, kayaking, water skiing, wake boarding, swimming, snowmobiling, ice skating, and cross country skiing.
Residents of this home have more than 800 feet of lake frontage with a small beach and a large private pier and boat ramp that allow owners to take full advantage of the lake.
The home itself is also oriented toward the lake with huge walls of windows to allow spectacular views from both the first and second floors. It also features radiant-heated floors, a gourmet kitchen and two deluxe four-car garages.
