Have you been looking for the perfect plot of land to build your dream home? This idyllic setting is partially wooded & features lakefront property on 3 lakes: Wilson Lake & Ice House Lake which means serene views in every direction! Located in a quiet & peaceful area less than 10 minutes from downtown Columbia City & only 20 some minutes to Fort Wayne, you have the convenience of nearby shopping, dining & groceries without the hassle of a super long drive while still preserving your privacy & seclusion of the beautiful countryside. Just north of US-30, this slice of paradise is being sold in 2 tracts: Tract 1 contains a rustic A-frame home & 8.189 acres nestled between Wilson Lake & Ice House Lake; Tract 2 is 8.55 acres surrounding Ice House Lake with Wilson Lake waterfront access. The existing home is 3 bedroom, 2 bath with a walk-out lower level & attached 2 car garage ? you can update or tear it down & start fresh with the home you've always wanted! Note: the home was built in 1972 & has not been maintained very well so if you do decide to keep the current structure, it would need some refreshing before moving in. A long curved gravel driveway winds through the tall trees to a small clearing where the house is tucked away, completely isolated & uber private. Should you choose to renovate, there are some groovy retro features that are quite special such as the wall of windows, wood panel walls & big balcony/deck for relaxing. Lakes make for great fishing opportunities & Wilson Lake is approximately 38 acres allowing access only to shoreline residents. Add a pier & fish for bluegill, bass & catfish or head out to the middle of the lake via kayak & enjoy the surrounding nature views. With this much land, you can create your own multi-home/building complex or compound & take advantage of all the space & silence. Bring that vision of your ideal home into reality with a brand new build, the possibilities are tr
