Little Bass Lake
Surrounded by nature
Median $250K·Walkability 4.8/10·Schools 5.0/10
The moment you turn down the tree-lined drive, you're out of reach—22 acres of quiet land with a private pond, a long blacktop approach, and the kind of space that makes you exhale. This is waterfront country, where the real draw is the lake itself: swimming, fishing, sunset decks that face west over the water, and the kind of evening you plan a whole trip around. Cottages here run the gamut from fully renovated two-bedroom retreats with new roofing and tankless water heaters to fixer-uppers with enormous bones and dock potential, many sporting second entertaining spaces or detached workshops. Campfires and memory-making are part of the rhythm—the landscape is studded with fire pits and plenty of yard. Access to the water and proximity to Belvidere Roadside Park keeps things connected without the noise, and the wider area around W Cutler Rd & W Schmeid Rd remains decidedly rural, giving you the kind of land-rich setting that doesn't come easy.
