Built in 2021, the Blue Heron is our 2 BR/1 BA 710 sq ft well thought out modern designed guesthouse that sits on our 6.5 acre lake front property with 650 feet of water frontage. This retreat is close to everything, ~30-35 minutes to Ft Moore/Columbus, Pine Mtn, & Auburn/Opelika. Private fire pit, hammock and yard. Free access to the shared boat ramp, multiple piers, beach area, chairs/loungers, kayaks, fishing gear and more. Need more space, checkout our Green Heron Cottage or get both. The space We have lovingly named our 6.5 acres the Herons Nest. On the property we have the main house on the water in which we live. Additionally there is a guesthouse (Blue Heron) and cottage (Green Heron) that are both Short-term Rentals that can be rented separately or together but are spaced out enough that you have your own space and privacy. Both places have their own individual fire pits, hammocks, patios and share the pier, boat ramp and boathouse located in front of the main house. You also have a designated beach area with chairs and loungers for your use. The Blue Heron Guesthouse has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath with an open concept. The guest house offers private outdoor space including a back patio with lake views, hammock, grill and fire pit area. You will feel right at home and relaxed with the tremendous water views and serenity. Each bedroom has a super comfortable queen size bed plus a fold out couch in the living room for extra guests. If the weather is less than ideal, enjoy some sports or movies with cable and free wi-fi or play one of the many board or card games that are available. The kitchen is ideal with a dishwasher, microwave, oven, stove top and refrigerator as well as a full kitchen including pots, pans, blender and more. After a day on the lake come back to a comfortable living room with fantastic water views or choose to grill and chill with the gas grill and covered outdoor dining area also with an awesome water view. The outdoor space is the key to the home and makes this the perfect lake retreat! If you want to fish or just watch the sunset, enjoy the shared long pier with a gazebo and floating dock to tie up your water toys. You don’t even have to find a boat launch, just use the one on the property to start your lake fun. If you just want to relax, enjoy the shared sandy beach with a swimming area or just lounge away soaking up the sun. If you just want to hang out in the shade and read a book or take a nap, jump into the hammock and just relax or sit at the covered picnic table and enjoy food and the lake views. Top the evening off, by having a bonfire in the fire pit area making s’mores and memories.
