Description
Welcome to a masterpiece of luxury living, nestled on sprawling acreage with a breathtaking lakefront backdrop — where every detail invites you to live life fully, surrounded by nature’s quiet beauty. This home boasts a Great Room that rivals anything you’ve seen in the mountains: soaring cathedral ceilings, a towering stone fireplace, and a wall of windows framing stunning views of the lake. The heart of the home, the oversized kitchen, is a chef’s dream, with custom cabinetry, dual pantries, and an adjacent breakfast room wrapped in a bay window — perfect for morning coffee with water views. Entertain effortlessly with a spacious family room right off the kitchen, a private office/den with French doors, and a main-level bedroom and bath ideal for guests. Upstairs, discover four additional bedrooms, including a massive primary suite with a sitting area, an enormous walk-in closet, and a spa-inspired bath featuring tumbled marble, a stone-surround shower, and a jetted tub to soak your cares away.
Need even more space? The fully finished basement offers endless possibilities — a second family room with a wood-burning fireplace, a full kitchen, two extra bedrooms, and a home gym, all with a private entrance. It's perfect for extended family, guests, or even as an income-producing rental. Modern amenities make life here as comfortable as it is beautiful, with solar panels to reduce your electricity usage, tankless gas water heaters for on demand hot water, and new energy-efficient double-pane windows keeping every season just right. But the magic truly unfolds outside. Relax or entertain on low-maintenance Trek decking or under the charming gazebo. Meander down the grand double staircase to the resort-style saltwater pool, complete with a beach entry, a natural stone grotto, and a water slide that promises hours of fun. Gather around the fire pit under the stars, or master your culinary skills at the outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill, rotisserie, beverage fridge, and stainless steel sink — all designed for effortless hosting. Finally, wander down to the private lake shared with a select few neighbors, where fishing for tonight’s fresh catch becomes a new favorite tradition. This is more than a home — it's your personal retreat, a place where memories are made and life is lived to the fullest. Welcome to the life you’ve always dreamed of!
