Charming Lakefront Cottage in Fremont, Indiana for Sale

A Rare Slice of Lake George History Welcome to “Hoosier”—one of the very first original cottages ever built on Lake George. Filled with old-school charm and laid-back lake vibes, this 3-bedroom seasonal cottage offers a chance to own a true piece of Steuben County history. Whether you're seeking a weekend retreat, an * investment, or a future build site, opportunities like this are almost never found—especially with 33 feet of owned Lake George frontage. Affordable Lakefront Living With Endless Potential This cottage is intentionally simple, seasonal, and reminiscent of how lake living used to be. While it’s currently winterized each year, it can be upgraded to year-round living with the addition of HVAC and some added insulation. It also makes a fantastic tear-down option to build a dream lake home, all while benefiting from lower Indiana taxes and valuable lakefront ownership. Quirky, Charming Features—Just Like the Good Old Days Like any beloved legacy lake cottage, Hoosier embraces its features and quirks: 3-season room: A perfect spot for morning coffee, afternoon card games, or taking in the lake breeze. Extra loft/den space upstairs: Great for added sleeping spots, storage, or a kids’ hangout. Half bath only (no shower): Historically, the owner’s shower was simple—“jump in the lake!” A shower could be added if desired. Original boathouse on the water: No longer allowed to build today—making this a rare, grandfathered structure. The interior has a concrete floor and provides excellent storage. Shared-well setup: The well in the north half of the boathouse is shared with the neighbor. A perk: shared well = shared costs, reducing expenses for both parties. Boathouse easement: Northern neighbor has an easement to use the north half of the boathouse for storage. These classic quirks aren’t flaws—they’re part of the vintage charm that defines the old-school Lake George experience. True Lake Living: It’s All About the Water Like many original lake cottages, the house is mainly a place to sleep, eat, or wait out a rainstorm—because life here happens outside. With a clear and firm swim beach, a concrete seawall, included dock, and wide-open sunset views, this cottage delivers the timeless lake lifestyle: Swim. Float. Boat. Fish. Laugh. Make memories. Just like the good old days.
