Turnkey and ready to enjoy, this 3-bedroom, 1-bath Charleston Lake cottage offers 74 feet of waterfront, a sandy beach and gorgeous south views across Big Waters. Swim from your own shoreline, head out for a day of boating, gather around the waterside fire-pit or enjoy cooler days by the wood-burning insert (WETT Sept. 2026). Multiple decks provide plenty of space to relax and entertain, while conservation land at the rear adds privacy and a beautiful natural backdrop. An established rental history offers added flexibility. Charleston Lake spans an impressive 6,220 acres with 94 miles of shoreline, approximately 100 islands, three public boat launches and two marinas, offering endless opportunities to explore. Sand Bay County Park is approximately 1 km away, with an additional sandy beach, picnic area and trails. With excellent year-round private road access, this is a wonderful opportunity to make Charleston Lake part of your life.
