Life at Lake Serene is about more than the home itself. Enjoy boating, kayaking, fishing, paddleboarding, or simply relaxing by the water. Homes on Lake Serene are exceptionally limited, with many properties remaining in the same families for generations. Even more uncommon is finding a home that has already been tastefully updated—allowing you to begin enjoying the lake lifestyle immediately instead of planning years of renovations.
The lake offers a boat launch area for residents only at the dam, walking paths & winter boat storage.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence or the ultimate weekend escape, this exceptional waterfront property offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most desirable lake homes.
Come experience why life is simply better at Lake Serene.
