About this home

Welcome to the desirable Lake Adger Community! This 1.10 ac parcel is in the cul-de-sac for Canoe Drive and the lot has a gravel driveway that leads to the building site. There is ~170' of water frontage and a deeded easement to build a dock on Lake Adger, perfect to enjoy swimming, fishing and boating! The sellers have a 4-bedroom septic permit on file with Polk County from 2023, and there is a shared community well available, with an annual fee is $60/lot & $200/year once a home is built. Situated on the main channel, overlooking the lake, this lot also benefits from a relatively easy drive-in, compared to other properties in the community. Lake Adger is a private community in the Blue Ridge Foothills on a 438-acre lake with 14 miles of shoreline. Residents enjoy 4 beautiful seasons, miles of scenic walking and equestrian trails, along with breathtaking seasonal views of the mountains, water, and surrounding natural beauty. Views of the lake and mountains will improve once you've started the building process and selective cutting for foundation, driveway, etc. Whether you're planning a full-time residence or a peaceful lakefront retreat, this property offers the perfect setting. Bring your builder and your vision, and start creating your own Lake Adger “Happy Place.”
