About this home

Imagine starting each morning high above the shores of Lake Nellie, where gentle breezes move across nearly five private acres as the changing colors of the sky reflect across your own lakefront. Thoughtfully positioned at the top of the hill to capture the views, lake breezes and bird watching, this exceptional custom home offers a rare combination of acreage, privacy and waterfront living. A floating dock that meets your boating needs may be added. The recently dredged dock area and channel provide access to Lake Nellie. The lakefront portion of the property may also offer an extraordinary setting for a future in-law dwelling or private retreat, subject to approvals. Built to maximize both space and livability, the home offers a total of three bedrooms, 3.5 baths, plus a guest suite with a full bath and closet and three additional flex rooms that can become private offices, a den, a reading/craft room or your creative space. High ceilings enhance the open atmosphere, while expansive porch areas maintain a constant connection to the surrounding acreage and lake. At the heart of the home is an impressive great room with coffered ceilings and fireplace, flowing into the formal dining area and beautifully appointed kitchen. Quartz countertops, custom cabinetry and an abundance of thoughtfully placed drawers provide exceptional storage. A five-burner Wolf gas range is positioned beneath a window overlooking the rear grounds, while dual built-in convection ovens, a warming drawer and a microwave make entertaining remarkably easy. A stainless steel farmhouse sink is complemented by a second sink in the oversized island and an expansive pantry keeps everything organized and within reach. Nearby is the oversized laundry room. The primary suite is a peaceful private retreat with its own covered porch overlooking the lake. The spa-inspired bath features dual vanities, a substantial soaking tub and a large tiled shower. Dual walk-in closets and a separate linen closet provide abundant storage. Upstairs, the second and third bedrooms are both en-suite, each offering a private bath and generously sized closet. A detached guest suite provides outstanding flexibility and currently serves as the fourth bedroom or office and adds additional square footage not in the home's living area. Complete with shelving, walk-in closet space and a full bath with a tiled shower, it's ideally suited for extended family, visiting guests or a secluded home office. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with two covered porches and an expansive L-shaped screened porch overlooking the acreage and lake, plus watch the rocket launches! A built-in fireplace along the side creates an inviting place to settle in with a book and morning coffee or enjoy an evening beverage as the light changes over the water. With the home facing north, both sunrise and sunset bring their own colors to the lakefront setting. Even the garage is exceptional. At 1,300 square feet, the massive three-car garage provides space for vehicles, workshop needs and storage. Spray foam insulation in the main home supports energy efficiency, while durable Hardie Plank siding, a metal roof and a 12 kW whole-house generator add comfort, quality and peace of mind. Acreage of this caliber is increasingly hard to find. Nearly five acres, with Lake Nellie frontage, a beautifully designed custom residence and room to create an even more extraordinary waterfront lifestyle come together in a remarkable property.
