Valparaiso, IN 46383 87 E Long Lake Road

Welcome to what was once known as the historical Long Lake Hotel. This 6 bedroom, 6 1/2 bath unique estate property dates back to the Prohibition Era when it was a 10-room hotel only accessed by a hand-pulled ferry across Long Lake to bring guests to the (then) island resort. Today this enchanted property has been fully updated with new electrical, plumbing, HVAC and high-end finishes. The pine floors have been restored to original condition. The under-house garage has been converted into a bunk house that sleeps 10. The wrap-around, all windows 3-season porch has been converted to a 600 square foot year-round dining/living space. The incredible lake view includes 150+ feet of beachfront and a dock for your pontoon boat to fully enjoy 65 acre Long Lake and adjacent Canada Lake. There are two master suites with completely redesigned bathrooms and walk-in closets. One master suite includes a steam shower and pedestal tub. The guest suite is designed to accommodate a full kitchen and stackable washer/dryer. Professionally designed gardens and lush landscape also include multiple seating areas, hot tub and a new 750 square foot brick paver patio and pergola for group entertaining. Lake-drawn irrigation supports daily watering to maintain sculptured gardens. Koi pond with waterfall, chicken coop and honey bees round out this magical property.This residential property is uniquely zoned commercial from its days as a hotel. With sleeping space to accommodate 20+ and driveway parking for 18 cars, this property is well suited to become an Airbnb and event venue rental. A wedding event for 125 guests was recently hosted here! Truly a one of a kind historic property that is rarely available on the real estate market! This property is being sold as is.
