I had rather be fishing 2000 square foot private Kentucky Lake front home. Beautiful views of Jonathan Creek bay from every room. Great kitchen with granite countertops. Twenty by thirty-five foot great room with floor to ceiling windows facing the lake and wood burning fireplace for chilly nights. Deck and screened porch facing lake. Satellite internet. Sits on approximately 3 1/2 acres plus TVA land. Great for families, duck hunters, fishermen, etc. Long term rentals welcome as well. The house sits directly facing the lake at the end of a long driveway. We have a lot of wildlife including deer that are there all year, pelicans that are there off and on from September through May, and bald eagles that begin appearing in October to repair their nest in the pine tree by the driveway in the front yard. The eagles begin nesting in January and both of them plus the eaglets are often seen from Late February until mid May. The nest is easiest to see from the landing of the stairs leading to the dock. If you look back from there over the top of the house, you can see the nest in the top of the pine tree. We also have the usual assortment of birds plus a family of pileated woodpeckers. If birdwatching is not your thing, fishing is available from the dock from April through September. You can also just relax with a good book or hike in the woods.
