AUCTION! ONLINE BIDDING NOW OPEN! Here is a rare opportunity to own a private waterfront property offering over 5,600 square feet of living space with 7 bedrooms & 10 bathrooms! The flexible living space is designed for gathering, relaxation, privacy and everyday comfort. Configured as three fully independent living environments, this unique property is ideal for multi-generational living, extended guests, effortless weekend escapes or full-time lake living where vacation memories are made year-round, all within one cohesive residence.

At the heart of the home is a huge gathering kitchen designed to bring everyone together, complemented by multiple living and entertaining areas ideal for relaxing, gaming, or simply enjoying the magnificent lake views.

The main residence offers 5 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, with each bedroom featuring its own private en-suite bath for exceptional comfort and privacy. A convenient ¾ bath located near the beach entrance provides the perfect space to rinse off after swimming, boating, or enjoying the lake. In addition to the expansive main residence, the property includes two attached private in-law apartments, each with separate exterior entrances and private deck access. Both spacious, well-appointed apartments include a bedroom with walk-in closet, full bath, kitchen, pantry, and living area—ideal for guests, extended family, or flexible living arrangements. Lifestyle features include two laundry rooms, an exterior-accessed workshop and large private office ideal for remote work or creative pursuits.
