About this home

This truly exceptional lakeside estate offers over 13 acres of wooded serenity, complete with a meandering stream, three cascading waterfalls, and 300 feet of private shoreline. Thoughtfully designed by local architect and visionary builder, completed in 2023, every inch of this 5+BR, 4BA home reflects masterful craftsmanship, high-end materials, and a seamless blend of modern luxury and natural beauty. The expansive interior spans multiple levels that can easily be adapted into separate living spaces, with a wheelchair-accessible main level featuring a luxurious primary suite. Smart, eco-friendly features include geothermal heating and cooling, instant hot water faucets and showers, and integrated smart lighting, while whimsical design touches create a sense of wonder throughout. Clad in durable Shou Sugi Ban-treated Larch and Cypress trim, the home is built to inspire and endure. Multi-level IPE wood decks stretch across the lakefront, converging in a stunning sunroom cantilevered over the water. A 3-car garage is pre-wired for three EV charging stations, and a private tram glides from the house to the beach, where you'll find two docks, a covered automatic boatlift, and a separate beach-access driveway. Quiet sitting areas are tucked throughout the grounds, thoughtfully positioned to highlight the surrounding natural splendor—this is lakeside living at its most luxurious. Sellers respectfully request that appointments are scheduled before entering the private road.
