485 Bentwood Ln

Description

If you've spent any time on Rough River Lake, you know Bentwood is one of those neighborhoods people wait for - and this is exactly the kind of property that makes it worth it. Waterfront with a dock on Long Lick Creek, a calm channel in a no-ski zone, sleeping capacity for up to 16, and a separate 30x40 garage on an additional lot. This is a setup that's hard to find. Inside, the home offers 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a loft - set up as a sleeping room, and approximately 1,989 finished square feet, including a finished walkout basement. The layout is designed to comfortably handle large groups, with multiple sleeping areas that allow the home to accommodate up to 16 people. The main level features an open living, dining, and kitchen area with vaulted ceilings and large windows that bring in natural light and wooded lake views. Hardwood flooring runs through the main living space, and the kitchen includes wood cabinetry, tile flooring, and a central island that keeps everything connected. The main-level bedroom offers a large closet, and the full bathroom on this level includes tile finishes along with a dedicated laundry area. Upstairs, the loft overlooks the main living space and provides additional sleeping or flexible-use space. The finished walkout basement expands the home's functionality with a second living area, kitchenette, built-in full-size bunk beds with shiplap detail, an additional bedroom, and a second full bathroom. This level works well as a separate space for guests to spread out. Outdoor living is set up for full use of the property, with an upper deck off the main level and a covered lower patio creating two distinct gathering areas with an amazing lake view. A staircase leads down to the dock, which is positioned in a protected section of the lake and includes a jet ski ramp. Across the street, the additional lot features a 30x40 garage with concrete floors and electric, along with a large gravel parking area - giving you the space for boats, vehicles, and lake gear that many waterfront properties lack. On the water, the dock is positioned just off the main channel in a "no-ski" zone. Long Lick Creek offers a unique balance of space and protection. You get wide water without heavy through traffic, making it ideal for swimming, floating, and relaxed lake days at the dock, while still being able to reach the main lake within minutes. What truly separates this location is how close it is to everything that makes Rough River Lake enjoyable. By water, you're less than five minutes to Nick's Boat Dock for fuel, food, and supplies, and right in the middle of the Axtel area where many of the lake's restaurants, marinas, and gathering spots are located. From here, you can quickly access Big Bay, Sandy Beach, Ski Island, and Rough River Dam State Resort Park without long boat rides. Off the water, the location continues to deliver. You're approximately 10-12 minutes to the North Fork area by car for restaurants, a hardware store, and multiple boat ramps, about 20 minutes to Hardinsburg, and roughly 25-27 minutes to Leitchfield for groceries and everyday essentials. Homes in Bentwood - especially with this combination of quality construction, location, waterfront setting, and usable space - tend to sell quickly, and this one brings it all together in a way that's hard to replicate.
