Something's Been Living at 600 Winding Creek Drive. Carthage's newest listing comes with a resident nobody expected, and he's not on the deed. This 1-acre wooded lot backs up to a 15-acre private neighborhood lake, complete with your own dock. The cabin itself has been meticulously maintained, tucked into the kind of tree cover that makes you forget you're 10 minutes from town. We caught our new neighbor on camera. He likes pancakes. He keeps to the tree line. He seems to approve of the buyer pool so far. Bigfoot's seal of approval aside, this is a legitimately special property. Private lake access, real privacy, real craftsmanship, in a location that rarely comes available.
