Just imagine living in a lakeside cottage with such a unique and historical history...In the early years, this bayou was part of the Gulf. The Deerpoint Dam was built in the early 60's creating a spring fed fresh water supply for the Panama City area. Per previous owners, the original structure was a boat house that was used to unload shrimp boats. After the creation of Deerpoint Lake, the business ceased operation & the structure was approved for a residential property. All the beauty that surrounds the water and property is full of wildlife. The dock was rebuilt over the original frame work and continues into the back yard as a deck. Annually, the water level of the lake is dropped 2-3 ft in Nov where it remains until March when it is returned to summer levels w/the water off the dock at approx. 6-7 feet. The living room features lots of windows overlooking the water. An open floor concept w/large kitchen featuring two side by side refrigerators for the serious chef. The dining room has a wine closet w/wine refrigerator. In addition to a large master bedroom /ensuite & walk in closet, there are two other bedrooms w/guest bathroom. Laundry room is large w/sink, cabinets & shelves. A workshop is located at the rear of the carport. All copper wiring. HVAC replaced in 2022. Septic system installed 2017. The yard was graded and sodded to sidewalk level. Gradings and berms were designed to control water flow from excessive rains towards the lake. Septic pumped/checked last year.
