A rare opportunity to create your lakefront retreat on private Lake Grinnell in Sparta. Set on a wooded 0.15-acre parcel with direct lake frontage, this 1950 bungalow offers the opportunity for flexible open plan living, a walkout lower level, broad water views, and an existing lakeside deck in need of restoration. The interior has been removed to the framing and requires a complete renovation, giving a new owner the freedom to reimagine the layout and finishes. Generous lake-facing window openings bring water views into both levels and offer the foundation for a contemporary seasonal cottage or year-round home. Lake Grinnell property ownership provides access to a private recreational lake where owners may enjoy boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, and association-regulated water skiing and tubing, subject to Lake Grinnell Association rules. The property, structure, deck, and all other improvements are being sold strictly as is. Buyer is responsible for all inspections, due diligence, approvals, permits, repairs, and certifications. Select images are virtually renovated and staged to illustrate possible improvements only and do not represent the property's current condition. You must have a confirmed appointment to tour and be accompanied by a licensed realtor. Highest & Best due Monday, July 20 at 12pm.
