51 Laurel Branch View Ln, McDaniels

51 Laurel Branch View Ln offers a newer barndominium-style build in a part of Rough River Lake that's hard to beat for convenience on and off the water. Built in 2022, this custom barndominium-style home sits on a 0.46-acre lot and delivers 2,240 sq ft of like-new living space with a layout and finish level that stands out from most lake-area homes. Inside, the main living area is built around tall ceilings and tongue-and-groove finishes that immediately set the tone. With 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths, there's room to comfortably sleep family and guests without feeling cramped. The open layout keeps everything connected, with wood cabinetry and modern finishes throughout that give the home a clean, high-end feel. Everything here was built with intention, and it shows. Outside, the exterior immediately stands out with black metal siding and roofing paired with stacked stone wainscoting and a large covered porch. The concrete driveway gives you plenty of room for multiple vehicles, boats, or trailers. One of the most unique features of this property is the attached garage setup. This isn't just a place to park. It's been finished out as a true extension of the home, complete with a dedicated hangout space, bar area, and its own half bath. Whether it's game days, hosting friends, or just having a separate space to unwind, this is the kind of feature that you'll love to use. Short-term rentals are allowed in the neighborhood, which opens the door for income potential if you're not using it full time. Whether you're looking for a personal lake place, a STR, or a mix of both, this property fits that model well. Location is where this property really starts to separate itself from other non-waterfront homes. You're just 4 minutes (1.3 miles) from Laurel Branch Boat Ramp, putting you in one of the most active and central areas of Rough River Lake. From there, you're a short boat ride to Sandy Beach, Big Bay, Rough River Dam State Park, and several of the lake's most popular hangouts. Nicks Boat Dock and the North Fork area are only 8 minutes away by road, placing you right near the heart of the lake's restaurants, marinas, and day-to-day lake traffic. When you need to run to town, both Hardinsburg and Leitchfield are about 24 minutes away for groceries, chain restaurants, and anything else you'd need for a full-time stay or weekend at the lake. If you've been trying to find something new, low-maintenance, and close to the water without paying waterfront prices, this is a setup that makes a lot of sense - especially in a location that keeps you this close to everything people come to Rough River to do.
