Lakefront Living Meets Laid-Back Country Charm on Payne Lake
Wake up to water views, towering oak trees, and the kind of peace you can't find in the city. This stunning lakefront retreat on Payne Lake sits on 1.45 private acres just outside Chipley, offering the perfect balance of quiet country living with easy access to Panama City, the Gulf Coast, and Tyndall Air Force Base.
✨ Why This Home Stands Out
• Breathtaking Lake Views - Expansive windows throughout the main home flood the open floorplan with natural light and showcase serene water views.
• Spacious & Inviting Interior - A modern kitchen anchors generous living and dining areas, ideal for entertaining or everyday comfort.
• Outdoor Living Paradise - Step onto the large deck overlooking Payne Lake, shaded by mature oak trees—perfect for morning coffee, sunset dinners, or weekend gatherings.
• Private In-Law Suite / Income Potential - A separate efficiency unit with its own entrance, kitchenette, and full bath offers flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or rental income.
• Room to Roam - Enjoy privacy, space for gardens, hobbies, boats, or future expansion—no HOA restrictions.
Lake Life at Your Doorstep
Kayak, paddleboard, fish, or simply enjoy the abundant wildlife right from your backyard. Payne Lake is a natural playground for outdoor enthusiasts and anyone craving a slower pace.
Convenient Location
• Panama City - ~48 miles (under an hour)
• Panama City Beach - ~53 miles (about 1 hour)
• Tyndall Air Force Base - ~61 miles (easy commuter distance)
Perfect For
• Buyers seeking peaceful lakefront living
• Multi-generational households
• Military buyers commuting to Tyndall AFB
• Nature lovers who still want beach days within reach
This is more than a home—it's a lifestyle. Quiet mornings, lake adventures, and room to truly breathe. Schedule your private showing and experience Payne Lake living for yourself.
