One-of-a-kind Custom Stone Home, A Nature Retreat, Architectural Excellence, Unmatched Craftsmanship, Custom Woodwork, Thoughtful Details, Energy Efficiency. Bonus Spaces, Expansion Potential, Outdoor Amenities with Natural Beauty and Functionality! Perfectly positioned on a scenic peninsula surrounded by the beauty of a 5-acre lake. Offering 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space on a single level, this stunning home captures the essence of serenity and elegance, all while embracing nature's finest views. Set on 17.75 acres of pristine land, this home is a nature lover's dream, enveloped by the lake on three sides. As you step onto the property, you'll notice the majestic views of the lake, lush trees, and abundant wildlife that make every day feel like a retreat. The surrounding lake is shared with a neighboring horse farm and teems with wildlife. Watch mink, otters, and even bald eagles as they pass by your windows. The lake itself is a haven for fishing enthusiasts, filled with large-mouth bass, bluegill, and crappies.
Built to face the cardinal directions, this stone beauty takes advantage of natural light and energy efficiency. The home's bedrooms are situated on the cooler, north-facing side, while the south-facing rooms (the kitchen, living room, office, and screened porch) are drenched in sunlight and feature panoramic views of the lake. The exterior walls are 18 inches thick, clad in natural limestone from Hope, Indiana, ensuring both beauty and durability.
Step inside and you'll be greeted by a wide, welcoming entrance hall that leads to an open concept living space designed for both comfort and luxury. The vaulted ceiling in the living room adds to the spacious feel, while the massive limestone fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the room. With large Anderson casement windows, this home is flooded with natural light, all while maintaining optimal temperature control thanks to its high-efficiency Mitsubishi mini-split HVAC system.
The heart of the home is the chef's kitchen, seamlessly connected to the living room by a wide doorway, giving it a great room feel. Just off the kitchen is the screened-in porch, a perfect three-season spot to relax with views of the lake and enjoy gentle breezes from the southwest.
Everywhere you look, you'll see the owners' craftsmanship on display, from the solid cherry heartwood doors to the handmade window boxes with book-matched panels that enhance natural light. The home's 3- 1/4 inch tongue-and-groove white oak flooring adds warmth and complements the darker cherry trim, creating a classic, rich ambiance.
All interior doors (except two closet doors) are handicap accessible at 36 inches wide, and even small touches like stainless steel ball-bearing hinges ensure every element of the home functions as beautifully as it looks.
Equipped with 39 solar panels, this home practically powers itself. The panels generate more electricity than the current owners use, leaving utility bills at a mere $18/month, the cost of staying connected to the grid. The home's ERV system ensures fresh air circulates efficiently throughout the house, enhancing comfort and air quality. The house has high-speed Internet (Download 486 Mbps and Upload 401 Mbps service with Spectrum via cable in a dedicated underground conduit).
