Welcome to the log home that makes everyone who visits want to stay—the kind of place where lifelong memories are made! Nestled on approximately 2.5 acres within a private, gated lake community, this one-of-a-kind retreat offers exceptional indoor and outdoor living. The community is centered around an approximately 200-acre lake, Jefferson County’s largest private recreational lakes. The property includes five lots surrounding the home, four additional lots behind it and a bonus lot across the street providing lake access. A storage shed is ready for your fishing gear, lake toys and outdoor equipment.
From the moment you arrive, the home’s rustic character is unforgettable. A welcoming 22' x 8' covered front porch leads to an impressive 17' x 32' wraparound deck featuring beautiful log railings and plenty of room to relax, entertain and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Step inside to soaring ceilings, striking log construction and a magnificent stone wood-burning fireplace that creates a warm and inviting gathering space. The bright, open kitchen features a charming bay window, while the main-level primary suite offers a relaxing, spa-like bath. A beautiful wood staircase leads to the upper-level bedroom with its own private full bath, all overlooking the main living area. A convenient main-floor laundry completes the original living space. An approximately 1,000-square-foot addition provides outstanding flexibility for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests or a private suite. Complete with its own entrance, the addition features a spacious family room with a fireplace, kitchenette, guest bedroom with a walk-in closet and a full bath. The staircase was designed and handcrafted by local artist Ryan Meyer of The Wood Den, adding another distinctive touch to this remarkable home. Upstairs, you will find an additional gathering space that could also serve as an office or extra sleeping area when needed. The lower level offers a spacious recreation area with another fireplace, sure to become a family favorite. The garage features a newly added epoxy floor, workshop area and plenty of storage. The community offers pickleball, basketball, fishing and hiking, along with something even more valuable—the opportunity to slow down and enjoy everything you have worked so hard for. You are not simply buying a house; you are choosing a home where friends and family will gather and where children and grandchildren will create stories they will talk about for years. Come experience it for yourself—you may never want to leave!
