OWN AN EXPERIENCE NOT JUST AN ADDRESS...Wake up to a delightful chorus of birds at dawn, easily unplug from the daily grind whenever you like, sit under the moon and stars, hear the rain whisper through the trees & the water lap the shoreline .....these are some of the magical experiences of nature hidden away in this appx 11 acre sanctuary that hugs the shores of an 8-acre private lake shared only with one other homeowner. This refuge includes a 2500 sq ft, 3 BR/2 bath Acadian-styled main home completely renovated in past year that connects via breezeway to oversized triple garage/storage room with full heated/cooled "poolside" bath downstairs and 740 sq ft.heated/cooled "apartment" above that offers bedroom, full bath, kitchen +huge living area. A separate 40'x40' metal workshop with 2 ten-foot doors and one 12-foot door easily accommodates all types of equipment - 4-wheelers, tractors, boats, RVs +more. The most "happy place" here is the 28'x25' outdoor living room built in 2009 w/hand-cut stone exterior, "breakaway doors" on 3 sides which can fully enclose or open depending on use and mood, cathedral ceilings, grand stone fireplace w/ its own propane tank, massive granite center island that can seat a crowd. Other amenities in this showplace outbuilding include central air/heat, gas stove, Hibachi cooktop, exposed/vaulted wood ceilings w/ skylights, dishwasher, microwave, full-size fridge/ice maker, warming drawer, surround sound w/speakers inside & out, and custom cement plaster floors that look like wood. And if that isn't enough for your celebration - wander out to another large attached patio w/open outdoor kitchen built in 2017 which showcases extra large gas grill, Green Egg, granite counters and wood shingled roof.... such perfect spots to gather and connect right by the inground pool and hot tub overlooking lake. Metal-roofed gazebo & its attached dock plus small boathouse nearby both meander into the lake.
