    What's special

    Own Your Very Own Private Island on Lake Manitou - Off-Grid Living with Unmatched Views Welcome to Island #2 - a truly rare and extraordinary opportunity to own your own private island in the heart of Lake Manitou, Rochester, Indiana. Spanning 1.42 acres of natural beauty, this one-of-a-kind property offers a lifestyle of peace, privacy, and total escape-only accessible by boat. At the center of the island sits a charming 700 sq ft cottage, featuring 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and a cozy, functional layout ideal for lakeside living. Designed for off-grid comfort, the home runs on propane-powered appliances (refrigerator, stove, hot water heater, and lights), with electricity available via generator, and a private well and septic system for full self-sufficiency. Mature trees offer natural shade and privacy, while picturesque lake views surround the island, creating a serene, immersive outdoor experience. Spend your afternoons relaxing on the 8' x 21' deck, soaking in beautiful sunsets, or watching the annual 4th of July fireworks show light up the sky. A private sandy beach on the west side of the island provides the perfect spot for swimming and enjoying the water, while the 18' x 17' additional structure can be used for storing lake toys, tools, or as a cozy bunkhouse for guests. Enjoy true island living-cook your meals on the grill with lake views, or hop in your boat and cruise over to one of the local lakeside restaurants for a casual bite or sunset dinner. Whether you're seeking a peaceful weekend retreat, a one-of-a-kind vacation rental, or your personal escape from the world, this is more than just a property-it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own your own private island. Claim your slice of paradise on Lake Manitou today.
