Welcome to tranquility within this 2+ acre, private & gated waterfront lake retreat!

Enjoy stunning 180-degree lake views from virtually every room and outdoor space of this property. Custom-built by Freddie Pethel and featuring luxury finishes, exceptional construction, artisan craftsmanship, towering windows, vaulted and beamed ceilings reaching 26 feet high, and an open concept design that evokes both warmth and sophistication. Enjoy plentiful outdoor spaces including expansive, multi-level decking, screened gazebo, outdoor kitchen and fireside/lakeside pavilion and plenty of room for a pool! Used the paved golf cart path or stone steps down to the lakeside pavillion for easy access. Owner's suite conveniently located on main level. Your guests will love the detached guest quarters complete with 2 beds and 2 baths, a full kitchen, living room & its own private balcony and views! The 32x32 covered dock with 2 slips (currently configured with 1 boat and 2 WaveRunner slips) is outfitted with extra-thick steel for wave protection, adjustable placement and a boat lift. One of the things that sets this magnificent property apart is the privacy provided by the plentiful acreage of adjacent untouched land owned by the Army Corp of Engineers. Designed with Colorado-inspired architecture, this spacious retreat blends natural elegance with modern technology, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Let the Smart Home system work for you - set the lights, security sensors & cameras, private front gate entry, thermostats, and music throughout the home. Once inside, you are welcomed by beautiful Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, and then immediately taken to the unobstructed lake views off the great room which hosts a professional masonry fireplace built by a local artisan; each stone hand-selected from 5 different U.S. States. Just off the entrance, you will find the owner's suite. The kitchen boasts custom cabinetry by William Ohs, gas cooktop, custom countertops, top-of-the-line appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. The mudroom and laundry room are located conveniently on the main level. Overlooking the great room is an upstairs loft that is currently an office, but could easily be utilized as a playroom or sleeping loft. Off the dining area is a rotunda keeping room with floor-to-ceiling windows and breathtaking views. Heading downstairs, either by the custom wood staircase or elevator, which services all levels of the home, you'll find a luxury terrace level retreat with soaring, 22' ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows and even more lake views! This expansive space is perfect for entertaining and relaxation, offering a wine room, a full bar, and a billiard room for endless enjoyment. The elevator provides seamless access, while a flex room allows for versatile use-currently used for a sauna but could be used as a media room/theater or bunk room. Enjoy 365 lake views in the rotunda-shaped home gym and then relax in the steam shower! From all areas of the home, you can walk outside to enjoy the beauty of the lake. Walking out the terrace level is an expansive covered stone patio with easy access to the paved path down to the covered lakeside pavilion with fireplace right off the dock. This amazing property also features a waterfall, red cedar decking on three sides, ample parking - including space for boat or RV - and a workshop in the garage. Conveniently located to local favorite spots on the lake, including Gainesville and Port Royal Marinas, Pelican Pete's Bar and Grill, and Skogies restaurant.
