Situated across the highway from Kenney Lake with direct sight lines to the water, the lot reveals its true character once you venture beyond the natural berm that shields the western portion of the lot from road noise and activity. Access via the south log road entrance leads you back to where the property truly opens up—a secluded, pristine setting surrounded by privately-owned land that offers tranquility. The northern boundary borders lovely neighbors, while the remainder of the acreage remains wonderfully isolated. With buildable areas ranging from flat to gently sloped, this lot is ideal for a thoughtfully placed home or cabin, complemented by garage or shed space. The marshy sections add ecological richness, supporting wildlife habitat and natural drainage. Utilities are favorably positioned - electrical and gas lines are accessible nearby.
