A rare opportunity to own The Raft—a beloved lakefront bar/restaurant that’s been a true community staple for decades, family-owned and operated by Howard for 50 years. Known far and wide as the home of the famous Raft Burger and Minnow Fest, this iconic destination pairs strong local tradition with an unbeatable waterfront setting. Set on an impressive 184’ of lake frontage, the property features a steel seawall, boat dockage for customers, and a large yard that’s made for summer fun—complete with an enclosed Tiki bar right by the water. It’s the kind of place people return to year after year, arriving by both land and lake. Adding even more value: the buyer receives first right of refusal on the adjacent canal lot just north of The Raft, offering an additional 49’ of water frontage.
