Recent updates include new metal roof (2022), LED pool lighting (2022), Composite deck with lifetime warranty (2020), Water heater (2020), Electrical wiring for hot tub (2024). A full list of upgrades and features is available—there are simply too many to mention! Enjoy optional access to the Lake Shore Estates private boat ramp—just 0.2 miles away—for $30/year. The community clubhouse is available for rental by members ($60 + $50 deposit), offering a full kitchen and indoor/outdoor lakefront space. Pet lovers will appreciate the neighborhood dog park, and golf cart owners will feel right at home with holiday parades and regular rides around the neighborhood. Come experience the Lake Shore lifestyle—where every day feels like a getaway.
