About this property

Family-Friendly Lakefront Home with Hot Tub and Kayaks

On the Rocks Sylvan Lake House is a stunning 3,300-square-foot lakefront home, perfect for multiple families. Situated on Sylvan Lake, a sprawling 660-acre all-sports lake, it offers endless opportunities for fun and relaxation. The house features a spectacular lakefront covered porch and a large patio with stone steps leading into the sandy waterfront, where you'll find your very own swimming area complete with paddleboards, kayaks, and a swimming platform. There’s also room to dock a boat, making it convenient for boating enthusiasts.

Inside, the spacious home includes three bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. The main level boasts a master suite with a walk-in shower and a large tub, a spacious kitchen with top-notch appliances, and two living rooms. The great room and dining room have vaulted ceilings with transom windows, offering breathtaking views of the lake. The open kitchen, great room, and dining area also feature a fireplace for cozy evenings. The upper level includes two additional bedrooms and a loft that serves as a fourth sleeping area.

Located about 30 miles northwest of Fort Wayne, this home is ideal for year-round water activities. The newly expanded Fishing Line Trail connects the neighborhood to Sylvan Cellars, just an 11-minute bike ride away. The house is also within walking distance of Sundaes on Sylvan Ice Cream, a small park, a local grocery store, and the trailhead to an extensive bike trail system. It is the perfect location for watching Sylvan Lake’s fireworks show. For those looking to explore further afield, a day trip to the charming town of Shipshewana or the historic Gene Stratton-Porter State Historic Site offers additional adventures.
