Meticulously landscaped and hardscaped, the estate includes a custom-built pool and spa with a waterfall, creating a tranquil oasis. A natural waterfall behind the main house, surrounded by large boulders, adds to the sensory experience.
The elegant five-bedroom, five-and-one-half-bathroom main house features gleaming hardwood floors and abundant windows that bathe the interior in sunlight. The main level, with a two-story entrance foyer, formal dining room, and study, exudes timeless refinement. French doors in the fireside family room open to a sweeping back deck with a fire pit, string lights, and stairs leading to the inviting backyard pool area.
The eat-in kitchen, equipped with professional-grade appliances and a light-filled breakfast nook beneath a vaulted ceiling, opens to the fireside family room, providing breathtaking views of the pool and lake.

The estate also features a fully finished two-level guest house. The upper level includes three bedrooms and two bathrooms, while the lower level comprises an additional bedroom and a full bathroom.
