Waterfront Living in Lily Cove — “The Red House”
Known to locals as “The Red House” and to Airbnb guests as La Maison du Lac, this beloved waterfront retreat in the Lily Cove community of Clearlake offers the rare combination of beautiful lakefront living, income-producing potential, and thoughtful updates throughout.
This 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 1,324 sq. ft. home has enjoyed a strong reputation as a successful Airbnb, with steady bookings and returning guests who have fallen in love with its waterfront setting.
Step inside to find new flooring throughout, new dual-pane windows, new dishwasher and oven, plus a new pellet stove. Beautiful brickwork surrounding the pellet stove and detailed finishes in the kitchen add warmth and character to the home.
The primary bedroom features unobstructed lake views, creating a peaceful retreat where you can wake up to the water every morning. Outside, the approximately four-year-old deck provides plenty of room for lounging, dining and entertaining, while the beautiful gazebo creates an ideal gathering spot overlooking the lake.
And then there’s the waterfront.
The pier has been redone within the last three years, along with a new Trex stairway leading down toward the gazebo, pier and boathouse. The retaining wall has also been redone, adding both function and peace of mind. A new $15,000 winch and trailer provides a convenient way to store your boat when you’re ready to step away from the water.
The attached one-car garage is currently utilized more as a storage/workshop space, providing flexibility for all your lake toys, tools and equipment. Downstairs, you’ll find an additional full bathroom along with the laundry area.
