749 Country Club Drive, Howard, OH 43028

Property Description

Last month's electric bill at this home? -$6. The utility company owed the seller money. That's the power of the recently upgraded solar system at 749 Country Club Dr -- and it's just one of the reasons this Apple Valley Lake ranch stands out from every other home on the market right now. Set within one of Knox County's most sought-after private lake communities, this move-in-ready 3 bed/3 bath ranch delivers main-level living at its best -- all bedrooms on one floor, a primary suite with private bath and walk-in closet, main-level laundry, vaulted ceilings, and an open-concept layout that just feels right the moment you walk in. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Step through the slider to a low-maintenance Trex deck overlooking a peaceful, private backyard -- then head downstairs to a fully finished walk-out basement complete with a large rec room, full bathroom, and bonus room ready for whatever you need most. Recent updates include a brand new furnace (2026), renovated bathrooms, and a newer hot water tank. Solar savings average $30-$50/month in winter and up to $200/month in summer -- per seller. And the lifestyle? A 511-acre private lake, boating, beaches, marina, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, golf, pickleball, walking trails, and more -- all for just $377/year in HOA dues. Full-time home. Vacation lifestyle. Electric bills that practically disappear. This one checks every box.
