3 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 1710422 MLS

Charming waterfront home in the Lake Forest neighborhood offers 1,428 finished square feet, TWO docks positioned on the end of a string of three, and a quiet no-ski-zone setting on Rough River Lake. A short flight of stairs provides a manageable walk to the shoreline, and the dock placement allows room to moor multiple boats while enjoying the calmer water that comes with this location. Built in 1987, the home includes two bedrooms, two full baths, and a spacious loft that adds flexibility for additional sleeping space, an office, or a second living area. The current owners have taken exceptional care of the property and completed numerous upgrades during their ownership, keeping the home in excellent condition. The main living area features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and tongue-and-groove detail that give the space height and character. Large windows bring in natural light and help frame the lake behind the home. The kitchen sits just off the living area and features granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a layout that keeps the space connected without feeling crowded. The main level includes one bedroom and a full bath. Upstairs, you'll find a second bedroom, another full bath, and the loft overlooking the living area. The upstairs bedroom and loft both capture views of the lake, creating a strong connection to the water from multiple areas of the home. Outdoor living is a major highlight of the property. The covered back deck overlooks the lake and connects to a lower concrete patio beneath it, providing two levels of outdoor seating. Just beyond the patio, a dedicated fire-pit area has been thoughtfully designed with stone seating and gravel, creating a natural gathering space that overlooks the lake. The surrounding concrete terrace and parking area provide plenty of room for vehicles, guests, and outdoor use. Big bonus: The lower level crawlspace is accessed from outside and provides excellent storage space for lake gear, tools, and seasonal items. Would make a great workshop space since it is heated and cooled. Additional improvements include a generator hookup, storage shed, wood shed, and attic storage. The Lake Forest neighborhood allows short-term rentals, offering flexibility for owners who want to enjoy the home personally while also having the option for rental income. Location is another advantage. The home is about 10 minutes from the North Fork area, where you'll find a boat ramp, campground, fuel, Dollar General, and local dining. Nick's Boat Dock is also nearby, along with Laurel Branch Boat Ramp, giving you convenient options for launching and time on the water. By boat, George's Branch is a popular destination close by where boaters often anchor, tie up with friends, and spend time on the water. The home still benefits from the quieter setting of the no-ski zone near the dock. For groceries and everyday essentials, Hardinsburg is roughly 20 minutes away, while Leitchfield is about 25 minutes away. This is a well-cared-for waterfront property that combines lake access, outdoor gathering spaces, and a peaceful setting - everything that makes time at Rough River Lake enjoyable.
