Tucked among the trees on nearly 2 private acres in sought-after Blue Water Bay, this authentic Center Hill Lake log home offers the lake retreat buyers dream about but rarely find. With seasonal lake views, warm wood interiors, and room to gather family and friends, this is the kind of place where memories are made after long days on the water and evenings spent enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
One of the home's most distinctive features is the beautifully renovated kitchen, where modern design meets timeless cabin character. Gorgeous sage green cabinetry, coordinating granite countertops, and an updated layout create a fresh, contemporary feel while maintaining the warmth and authenticity of the log home experience.
Outdoor living shines with both a spacious new sun deck and new screened porch, creating the perfect spaces for morning coffee, entertaining, or unwinding after a day on Center Hill Lake.
The lower level is designed for fun and relaxation with a recreation and bar area, space for a pool table, and the convenience of a private bathroom, making it ideal for guests and game day gatherings.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the oversized garage with epoxy floors and plenty of room for boats, side-by-sides, jet skis, Razors, vehicles, and lake gear. The fenced backyard offers seasonal lake views, raised garden beds, and extensive landscaping that creates a private retreat.
From the moment you arrive, the curb appeal sets this home apart with mature landscaping and a charming brick-inlaid circular walkway leading to the front entrance.
Blue Water Bay owners and guests enjoy resort-style amenities including a community pool, fitness center, clubhouse, and walking trails, while marinas, boating, fishing, hiking, and kayaking are just minutes away.
Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, weekend escape, or vacation home, this property also offers excellent short-term rental potential with projected annual income of approximately $70,000.
