Property Description

It does exist! Nearly 12 rolling acres, a stunning custom home with modern finishes, a fully insulated barn and 633' of pristine frontage on an all sports lake in one of the most sought after communities in the U.S. The nautically inspired kitchen features navy cabinetry, Cambria quartz counter tops, a Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, butler pantry, and direct access to an elevated lakeside deck. Picture frame paneling highlights the main entry with newly redesigned staircase and second level walk way. Dark oil-stained oak flooring extends from the kitchen, through the great room and entry and into the formal dining room which offers 180 degree lake views. The lakeside master suite features a private deck overlooking the water, a gorgeous free standing tub and a fireplace. Two other large bedrooms are on the same level with an additional full bath for easy access for family or guests. The basement was designed to feel like a classic Irish pub. Rich walnut wood work, brass accents, a wood burning fireplace and even a well hidden murphy bed make this a terrific place to unwind after a long day on the water. A fourth bedroom steps out to a lake level patio and has direct access to a separate full bath. Additional space also on this level is currently purposed as a fully functional home gym. Step down the craftsman laid natural stone stairway to a dock at the southern end, or choose a meandering path through the pines to the north end where two additional landing areas are located. The owners have meticulously maintained the lawn and landscape around the home providing wonderful outdoor recreation space along the elevated shoreline. A meandering path through the forest leads east to the 32' x 40' barn for storing all the toys or pursuing your favorite hobbies. There's even an irrigated field and orchard for the hobby farmer or to attract the local wildlife. Access to thousands of acres of public land is right out the door.
