Lakeside Ranch on Drummond Island
Lakeside Ranch on Drummond Island
Nestled into a private lot with trees on both sides and a nice plush lawn for playing yard games, the home has a covered patio with a gas grill facing the water where you can lounge and dine, all while taking in the amazing sunset views. Enjoy a campfire in your private backyard and star-gaze the night away!
This home typically includes a private boat launch (ideal for most boats except pontoons) and a dock, however lake levels are low in 2025, therefore you may need to rent a boat slip or launch at nearby Yacht Haven. The home includes two kayaks for enjoying easy access to the outer Islands and paddling along the shoreline to birdwatch or cast a line.
Relax in the comfortable living room and gather around the dining table for games or a home-cooked meal.
