The centerpiece of the estate is a stunning modern farmhouse, perfectly blending rustic natural wood finishes with modern design elements. This meticulously crafted home features 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, providing ample space for family living and entertaining. The heart of the home is the Amish-built kitchen, showcasing exquisite craftsmanship, a large quartz island, hammered copper farmhouse sink, and walk-in pantry that also serves as a concrete storm shelter. Throughout the home, you’ll find beautiful hardwood floors and solid pine doors, adding warmth and character to every space. The spacious primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with a large walk-in closet, custom tile walk-in shower, and charming claw foot tub. Step outside to the back deck, where you can take in panoramic views of the lake, rolling pastures, and your horses grazing in the fenced fields. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the 60x80 horse barn, complete with 5 stalls, a tack room, and a comfortable sitting area. The fully fenced acreage provides plenty of room for horses to roam, while the serene waterfront setting enhances the property’s peaceful, private ambiance.
