For the first time ever, welcome to Custom House Island, a truly one-of-a-kind private island nestled in the heart of Balch Lake. This charming 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom home sits on a secluded 0.22-acre island surrounded by native blueberry bushes, offering an unmatched sense of lakeside privacy and tranquility. The property includes a 2-bay boathouse, sandy beach, and two docks, plus a private mainland dock for easy access to and from the island. With panoramic lake views from every vantage point, this is the kind of place you'll never want to leave.
