Property Description
If you've been waiting for something truly impossible to duplicate...you just found it. Tucked away on nearly 7 breathtaking acres-the home is set on 4 manicured acres plus an additional 3-acre wooded parcel can be sold separately or kept for additional privacy-this custom builder's original home is surrounded on three sides by a large spring-fed lake, creating a setting that's simply unforgettable. Wake up with coffee overlooking the water as deer wander through the trees. Spend the afternoon fishing from your own backyard or launch a kayak or paddle boat for a peaceful cruise around the shoreline. End the day watching spectacular sunsets from the expansive multi-level deck or screened porch while nature provides the soundtrack. This isn't just a home...it's the lifestyle people dream about. Inside, approx 5,000SqFt of warm, character-filled living space welcomes you with a dramatic turret style entryway featuring two-story beamed ceilings. The formal living room offers cathedral beamed ceilings, an oversized bow window, and breathtaking views, while French doors open to the formal dining room. The custom kitchen (gutted & remodeled down to the studs in 2012) is built for gathering with abundant maple cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, reverse osmosis, a coffee bar, an impressive 8-foot quartz island with prep sink, and a bayed breakfast area surrounded by windows that overlook the deck. A main-level fifth bedroom with exterior access provides ideal flexibility for guests, a home office, or related living. The floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the spacious lower-level family room, which flows into the recreation room with wet bar and access to the screened porch. Upstairs, the private primary suite is joined by two additional bedrooms, while a separate guest retreat features the fourth bedroom, full bath, sitting room, and a panoramic viewing deck overlooking the incredible property. Outside, the show continues with an incredible 800-square-foot multi-level deck overlooking the water-an entertainer's dream and the perfect place for morning coffee, summer barbecues, sunset cocktails, or simply soaking in the peace and privacy that surrounds you. Designed for comfort as much as beauty, the home features zoned electric heat pump heating, leased solar panels, a roof less than 10 years old with LeafGuard gutters, many newer windows, reverse osmosis, and a backup generator that powers essential systems-including the well, sump pump, refrigerator, freezer, microwave, garage door opener, and select lighting-for year-round peace of mind. Nearly 7 acres. Peaceful spring-fed lake. Endless wildlife. Modern efficiency. Nearly 5,000 total finished square feet of unforgettable living. Some homes are simply built. This one could never be recreated.
