About this property

Great location on Henson Street in the heart of the Town of Lake City with wonderful mountain views and year round access. The property consists of 5 town lots with 2 historic structures constructed in 1952. As stated in the Historic Home of Lake City Guide on Page 25, **"...The McDonalds had acquired vacant lots fronting Henson Street and worked to construct a snug low-gabled vacation cabin....they gathered various sizes of smoothed river rocks and laid them into walls using course concrete which they mixed themselves. For a decorative effect, they pressed colorful pieces of broken glass -- cobalt, green and red -- into the drying cement. The result was a rock-solid house with board and bat in the side gables. Unique features are collapsible front and back porches which folded down to protect doors and windows when the house wasn't occupied. Also unique to the Lake City and the entire county is a river rock outhouse which the couple built."** The property is zoned Tourist allowing for multiple uses and is within the Complimentary Treatment Area of the Town of Lake City Historic District. Any improvements to the existing structures and/or any new construction will need to go before the Historic Commission for design approval. Currently there are NO utilities/water/sewer to the rock house. There is approximately 75'+/- to the south of the rock house that would allow for a new residence to be constructed. The rock house could be incorporated into the new build or even used as storage for building supplies, etc. Great opportunity to own a piece of Lake City history with room to build.
