About 6240 S 085 W Messick Lake
For the first time since the 1970s, this west-facing lakefront home is available and is located about 45 minutes from Fort Wayne, 35 mins from Goshen, approx 2.5 hours from Indianapolis, and roughly 3 hours from Chicago, the setting offers both convenience and escape. Enjoy sunsets over the water, a firm sandy and stone beach area, and shady willow trees along the shoreline. The property includes a glacial stone seawall, boat lift, and three titled boats with trailers. The home itself is a single-story, two-bedroom with a full walk out basement at the lake level and 200-amp electrical service. While it reflects its era, it’s ready for a new owner to bring it into the present. Many will see the chance to update over the winter and be ready for spring on the lake. Extras include a two-car attached garage, one deck, and a private drive with no through traffic. The protected land behind the home provides peace and privacy, unlikely to be developed.Whether as a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or a short-term rental investment, the location and lakefront setting offer long-term value and potential. Room for 3rd bedroom on second level by converting the living room into a large 3rd bedroom and bathroom expansion opportunity.
