Updated home w/ lake views across from Lake WI!

The home was completely renovated in 2022! It is located across from Lake Wisconsin with a modern open floor plan, lake views, and a large front deck. The free Merrimac Ferry (seasonal) is within walking distance or a short drive away. Devil's Lake State Park and the Ice Age Trail are nearby. There are many options for restaurants in the surrounding areas, and Wisconsin Dells is a 30-minute drive away. There are endless areas to explore to enjoy year-round activities!

Located in the quaint village of Merrimac, one block from Lake Wisconsin, and five blocks from the free Merrimac Ferry. In a family friendly neighborhood with sidewalks, yet feels private on all sides of the property.
