Tucked well off the road and hidden beneath a canopy of mature trees, this unique 1.5-story lakefront home offers exceptional privacy, peaceful surroundings, and a setting that feels like your own private escape. Surrounded by native landscaping, the home was designed to embrace its beautiful natural surroundings, with an impressive wall of lakeside windows capturing gorgeous water views and filling the interior with natural light. The spectacular Great Room is the heart of the home, featuring soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed wooden beams, skylights with built-in blinds, a beautiful brick fireplace, built-in shelving, and surround sound. A relaxing sunroom overlooking the lake provides another wonderful place to enjoy morning coffee, watch the wildlife, or simply take in the peaceful scenery. The downstairs bedroom features plush carpet and a nice-sized closet, while the downstairs full bath showcases a gorgeous tiled shower. Upstairs, you'll find a cozy loft-style reading area with built-in bookshelves and skylights, creating the perfect place to curl up with a book while overlooking the living area below. Situated on 5.44 lakefront acres, the property offers multiple areas for relaxing, entertaining, gardening, and enjoying the outdoors. A screened gazebo with electricity and a ceiling fan creates the perfect gathering spot, while a greenhouse, treehouse loft, drip irrigation system, abundant native plants, and extensive outdoor lighting add character and functionality throughout the grounds. A separate cottage adds even more possibilities and is divided into two distinct spaces-one currently used as an art and craft studio and the other as a dream workshop. The cottage offers tremendous flexibility for hobbies, a home office, workout room, creative studio, guest or overflow space, or whatever fits your lifestyle. An additional enclosed area on the back provides convenient storage for the lawn mower, yard tools, and outdoor equipment. Additional features include double-pane windows and a whole-house hardwired generator, providing added comfort and peace of mind.
