being a peninsula, encompasses approximately 154 wooded and

surrounded by lake waters.

of water. There is an abundance of wildlife and naturally
developed beauty visible from the shorelines of SUNPOINT.
Future development of this secluded property will only enhance
the enjoyment of its present beautiful natural state.

area offer a diversity of available activities and
conveniences. The lake water lends itself to swimming,
water-skiing, canoeing, kayaking, sailing, fishing (perch,

corporate offices to the area. A $10,000,000 hotel is one of
many being constructed.
