Your Ozark Family Getaway Starts Here | 0.43 Acres One Block from Crown Lake

Build the Family Gathering Place You've Always Envisioned
Picture this: Friday afternoon, you're driving into Horseshoe Bend with the kids in the backseat already excited. Saturday morning, you're sipping coffee on your deck while the grandkids spot deer in the trees behind the property. By noon, everyone's at Crown Lake-just one block away-swimming, fishing, and making memories that will last a lifetime.
This is what this 0.43-Acre lot in North Shore subdivision offers: the foundation for your family's Ozark tradition.
Located just one block from Crown Lake with power and water already at the road, this property removes the typical complications of rural building. Box Hound Marina is 6 minutes away. Turkey Mountain Golf Course is 8 minutes from your door. And you're positioned in an established neighborhood where families have already built the vacation homes and retirement retreats you're envisioning.
This is where your family's Ozark story begins.
Why This Location Works for Vacation Home Builders
One Block from Crown Lake:
The proximity to Crown Lake isn't just convenient-it's transformative for family vacations and weekend getaways:
• Morning fishing trips before breakfast
• Afternoon swimming sessions when it's hot
• Evening walks to watch the sunset over the water
• Teaching grandkids to fish from the shore
• Kayaking adventures that start with a short walk
• Building lake traditions that span generations
You're close enough to make lake access part of daily vacation life, but you're not paying the premium prices that direct waterfront commands. This is the sweet spot for vacation property investment.
Recreation at Your Doorstep:
• Box Hound Marina (6 minutes)-boat launch, supplies, fishing gear
• Turkey Mountain Golf Course (8 minutes)-scenic course for golf enthusiasts
• Crown Lake swimming and fishing (one block)-water recreation without driving
• Strawberry River access nearby-famous trout fishing, float trips
• Ozark hiking trails throughout the area-family-friendly outdoor adventures
This location gives your family activities for every interest and every generation.
Infrastructure Ready: Build Without the Rural Headaches
What's Already in Place:
If you've researched building a vacation home in rural areas, you know the challenges: drilling wells, installing septic, bringing power lines from distant roads, grading difficult terrain. This property eliminates those concerns.
• Power available at the road-no expensive line extensions
• Municipal water accessible-no well drilling costs or water quality concerns
• Established subdivision-roads, infrastructure proven and maintained
• Clear building requirements-1,100 sq ft minimum (substantial family home)
Translation: Your budget goes into building the home you want, not solving infrastructure problems. This is investment-grade property ready for development.
Flexible Ownership for Practical Investors
Cash Price: $7,650 + $249 doc fee

• Deed transferred upon completion and filed officially
• Total financed: $8,799 over 42 months
Why this matters: At $200/Month, you're building equity in appreciating Ozark property while keeping monthly costs manageable. Many families spend more than this on weekend entertainment they won't remember. This builds something lasting.

The Family Legacy Perspective
Think beyond this summer. Imagine ten years from now when your teenage grandkids still ask, "When are we going to the lake house?" Picture twenty years from now when you're retired full-time, watching sunsets from your deck every evening instead of just on vacation weekends.
Consider thirty years from now when your adult children bring their families to the property you had the foresight to secure today. The place where three generations gather for Fourth of July, where fishing skills pass from grandparent to grandchild, where family stories accumulate year after year.
This isn't just buying land. This is establishing your family's Ozark presence for generations.
The families who built vacation homes in desirable lake areas twenty years ago now own properties worth multiples of their investment-properties their families treasure for reasons that transcend financial value.
Start Building Your Ozark Story
You've spent years talking about having a place at the lake. Years of renting vacation homes that don't feel like yours, staying in crowded resorts, or missing out on lake life entirely because of the expense and hassle.
This property changes that conversation from "someday" to "this summer."
With utilities ready, proximity to Crown Lake, and financing requiring just $349 down, the barriers that have delayed your family's lake property are removed. What remains is the decision: will you keep wishing, or will you act?
Contact us today about 1402 Michigan Ave in North Shore.
Ask questions about the property, the subdivision, the building process, and the community. Get the information you need to make this important decision. Then imagine which of your weekends this year could be spent on your own Ozark property instead of wishing you had one.
