Welcome to 20625 Island Forest Rd! This custom-built lakefront retreat, lovingly known to family and friends as Campy, has remained in the same family since its creation in 1982. Originally conceived by the owner's father as a peaceful weekend sanctuary, the home embodies a timeless philosophy of simplicity over excess, offering an effortless escape from the everyday stressors of life. The thoughtful floor plan is designed to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor living. Inside, a bright and inviting sunroom captures gorgeous, year-round views of the backyard and open water. The layout features a private primary suite separated from the two downstairs bedrooms, ensuring comfort and privacy for family and guests alike.

The backyard is fully enclosed by a fence, offering a defined boundary while keeping the focus on open sightlines to the shore. Positioned perfectly along the shoreline to capture breathtaking, unobstructed sunset views throughout the year, every detail centers around connection to the water, nature, family, and friends.
