120 Wilshire Drive unit: 17, Hollister, MO 65672

The Trout Are Just DownstairsThis 2-bedroom, 2-bath condo sits right on Lake Taneycomo -- one of the premier tailwater trout fisheries in the Midwest, fed year-round by cold water from Table Rock Dam. The private dock is a short walk from your front door.Inside, 1,200 square feet of quiet.

New carpet, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances. When the day winds down, the jetted tub is waiting. Do your laundry in your own unit -- your machine, your schedule. A brand new roof means one less thing on your list. Your covered parking space comes with additional storage -- a rare thing in condo living.Boat slips are available for rent or purchase when they come open.

They do come open.The community has four swimming pools iwhen you feel like social. Free breakfast on Wednesdays. Potluck lunches a few times a year. Neighbors worth knowing, on your terms.In the mornings, coffee on the balcony, the crossword, the lake stretching out in front of you.

In the afternoon, a walk down to the private dock -- fish off the edge, pull a rainbow trout out of that cold water, and clean it right there at the fish cleaning station before you ever leave the dock. Jump in after if you want. Or just sit there while the water does what water does.Just you, the lake, and a dog.
