TRACT 1: Features a rare opportunity with two homes on one lakefront parcel. The lower home has been recently remodeled with an open-concept layout and new kitchen, creating an ideal space for entertaining. With several finishing touches remaining, most materials to complete the bedrooms and bathroom are already on-site and included—offering a unique chance to add your personal style and build instant equity. Bring your vision & finish how you would like! Enjoy lake life from the wrap-around deck overlooking peaceful water views, along with a clean, private beach perfect for swimming, relaxing, and lakeside gatherings.

The upper home, located near the road, adds incredible flexibility—ideal for guests, extended family, or potential rental income.

TRACT 2: Hard-to-Find Lake Storage Opportunity on Blue Lake! Tract 2 features a valuable garage and additional lot located just across the street from the lakefront home, providing the extra space every lake owner needs—but rarely finds. Ideal for storing boats, jet skis, lawn equipment, and all your lake gear, this property offers convenient parking and storage solutions in an area where space is often limited. Whether you’re looking to keep your waterfront clutter-free or need a dedicated space for hobbies and equipment, this tract delivers flexibility and functionality. The extra lot also provides added room for parking, outdoor use, or future possibilities—making it a smart investment on its own or the perfect complement to Tract 1.

 Bid on each tract individually, any combination, or the entirety for the ultimate Blue Lake Setup!
