About this home.

Smooth paved roads lead to a quiet lakeside contemporary with no gates and no HOA -- just an unhurried stretch of shoreline where life feels intentionally slower. As you arrive, the world softens. Before you, a classic A-frame rises in glass and light, perfectly positioned to capture 180-degree water views and 252 feet of private shoreline.

Inside, walls of towering windows frame an ever-changing horizon -- silvery morning mist, deep sapphire afternoons, and golden reflections at dusk. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas unfold effortlessly, designed for both intimate evenings and elegant gatherings. The lake becomes part of the room -- a living backdrop to candlelit dinners, quiet conversation, and laughter shared around the island.

The primary suite offers a front-ro seat to sunrise, where each day begins with brilliant layers of blue stretching nearly a mile into the distance. Two additional bedrooms with a Jack-and-Jill bath, a separate half bath, and a lower-level retreat complete with a second living area, game space, and wine room provide comfort and privacy for family and guests.

Outside, a double-slip dock with generous floater and covered area invites mornings on the water, sun-drenched afternoons, and tranquil evening sunset cruises.

Thoughtfully maintained with major systems recently replaced -- roof (2021), HVAC (2024), and boat lift (2023), Driveway resealed (2025), septic pumped, (2024) Washer and Dryer (2022).

This is more than a home. It is a private waterfront sanctuary -- where coming home restores you.
