What the owner loves about this home
One of closest Lake Sara neighborhoods to Effingham, also a great area for walking with a mile circle eight loop. Home is very private...connected to the lake but backs into a farm. This is a home for adventure with woods, lake, a good sleading hill, area for golf, open spaces to play and you can see the firework from the dock.
