Farmhouse-Inspired Lakefront Retreat
This custom-designed, farmhouse-inspired cottage offers the perfect blend of privacy and panoramic beauty—perched at the edge of a serene cove while overlooking the breathtaking expanse of the main lake.
Nestled within 3.68 acres of lush, private foliage, the property elevates indoor-outdoor living to an art form. At the lake level, a two-story, custom-built boathouse awaits—featuring a covered outdoor living room complete with ceiling fans, Summer Classics sofas, swinging rockers, and a dining table, all floating directly over the water. Upstairs, the boathouse becomes a true playground: a designated ''jump zone'' keeps the kids entertained for hours, while luxury loungers offer the perfect sunbathing spot. Just steps away, outdoor showers and a bathroom make lake days effortless. As evening falls, gather under the stars around the fire pit, nestled beneath the trees, with Adirondack chairs ready for s'mores, cocoa, and hot toddies.
Enter the home from the lake level into a stylish and comfortable lower-level retreat. A plush lounge with cozy seating surrounds a 95'' HD entertainment system. The rustic bar, pool table, and game area create the perfect hangout space. A bunk room built just for the kids features six custom-built beds—each with its own reading light and charging station—beneath a high-powered rotating ceiling fan. It's a favorite among younger guests.
Upstairs, the main level stuns with reclaimed hardwood floors, exposed beams, and wide-open lake views. The gourmet kitchen—designed by a professional chef—features a large prep island and a bar that seats 5, opening seamlessly to a state-of-the-art outdoor kitchen and grilling station. The adjoining living room showcases a rustic stone fireplace, curated furnishings, and flows directly onto a covered porch with rocking chairs, lantern lighting, fans, and mesmerizing lake views.
The dining room, wrapped in reclaimed barn beams, seats ten around a classic farmhouse table. It opens onto an enchanting outdoor dining space under a pergola adorned with hanging lanterns that twinkle between the stars and trees. A spacious guest suite with a private ensuite bath, along with a powder room, complete the main level.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a sanctuary. Featuring a king-size sleigh bed and spa-like bath with soaking tub, it also includes a private outdoor sleeping porch—a dreamy perch that lets you sway or sleep among the treetops. Three additional bedrooms offer plush bedding, window seats with pillows, elegant chandeliers, and stunning views—each one thoughtfully designed for comfort and charm.
Unmatched Location
Ideally situated in Roanoke Reserve just off the main lake, the home is directly across from Morningstar Marina—perfect for boat rentals, lakeside dining, and live music. Essentials such as groceries, hardware, dining, and the ABC store are only five miles away by car.
Whether you're swimming in your private cove, fishing from the dock, or boating into the heart of the lake, this retreat offers a rare combination of seclusion, luxury, and lakefront adventure.
