A 2-acre other in Jasper.

Exceptional opportunity to acquire a private lakefront compound offering three separate residences and remarkable income-producing potential. Situated on approximately 2 acres with direct frontage on private, approximately 13-acre Lake Charles, this versatile property may be ideal for short-term or long-term rentals, a multigenerational retreat, corporate accommodations, or a boutique wedding and event venue, subject to applicable zoning, licensing and governmental approvals. The property includes a spacious main residence plus two additional residences, providing approximately 4,600 square feet of combined living space based on owner-provided measurements. The main residence offers approximately 2,600 square feet with three bedrooms, flex space that could serve as a fourth bedroom, two full bathrooms and one half bathroom. Features include an inviting family room with a gas fireplace, an updated kitchen with white cabinetry, solid-surface countertops, double ovens and a gas cooktop, a separate dining room, sunroom and generous storage. The remodeled primary bathroom features a soaking tub, separate shower and modern finishes. Multiple windows and covered or screened outdoor living areas capture beautiful lake and pool views. The approximately 900-square-foot upper residence includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, a full kitchen, laundry room and comfortable living space.

The main residence and both additional residences are separately metered for electricity, allowing flexibility for individual occupants or rental operations. Outdoor amenities create an outstanding setting for guests, gatherings and recreation. The 16-by-32-foot inground freshwater pool uses a salt chlorination system and is surrounded by approximately 2,000 square feet of decking with a newly applied rubberized coating. New aluminum fencing and gates enclose the pool and viewing deck, while a large fenced yard provides additional usable outdoor space. Two private docks provide access to Lake Charles, and an aeration system attracts baitfish toward the dock for excellent fishing. The property also offers an extraordinary amount of garage, workshop and storage space, including an approximately 900-square-foot detached 2.5-car garage, a two-car covered carport, and an additional approximately 900-square-foot insulated workshop with heating and cooling. A custom tornado shelter with an adjoining approximately 200-square-foot storage room adds further utility. Major improvements include newer roofing and HVAC equipment, newly blown insulation in all attics, new crawlspace insulation beneath the main residence and a whole-house dual-fuel generator. Served by city water and sewer and located just minutes from downtown Jasper, this rare property combines three residences, private lake frontage, a pool, extensive parking and workspace, and tremendous flexibility for generating income or creating a one-of-a-kind hospitality destination.
