Discover the pinnacle of lakeside luxury with this extraordinary 6,186 sq ft mountain lodge, perched on its own private island in the heart of Lake Burton's coveted big basin. Offering 360-degree lake and mountain views, total privacy, and Yellowstone-inspired rustic elegance, this one-of-a-kind estate redefines waterfront living. Crafted from reclaimed timbers sourced from Southern cotton mills, the residence exudes old-world craftsmanship and frontier charm. Hand-hewn oak siding with classic chinking, dry stack Tennessee fieldstone, rough-sawn wide plank oak floors, and steel structural supports anchor the home with strength and character. An elegant entry foyer welcomes you from two directions, showcasing east and west views through an open riser staircase with reclaimed treads and flagstone flooring. The soaring great room features lake views from 2 walls, a dramatic cupola, flanking fireplace posts reclaimed from Zachary Taylor Scott's historic home, and a moose antler chandelier complete with a buckshot hole. The chef's kitchen blends style and substance with black soapstone countertops, custom barnwood cabinetry, Viking 6-burner range, dual Bosch dishwashers, refrigerator drawers, custom soapstone sinks and two pantries. The private owner's suite features 3 walls of lake views, a barnwood clad vaulted ceiling and stone fireplace. Each guest bedroom offers unique views and details. The main floor provides 2 guest bedrooms, each with chinked log walls and a private bath. Upstairs, a clever bunk room offers access from 2 separate hallways with a full bath on each end. A large hidden pocket door opens to separate the space into 2 separate bunk rooms when desired. A "library" with a vaulted ceiling and lake views is currently styled as another guest bedroom upstairs. The terrace level offers a spacious yet cozy media room with a wall of bunk beds against the back wall, a kitchenette with a full fridge/freezer combo, range, sink and dishwasher and laundry room with sink. The gym was designed to mirror the upstairs bunk room, featuring full bathrooms on each end. This space could easily be converted into 2 separate guest bedrooms with the addition of a wall. Outdoors, expansive flagstone patios wrap the home offering views from all directions. Meandering trails of recycled tire wrap the Island, leading to the east wharf and swim dock, putting green, and west side 2-story, 2-stall covered boathouse overlooking one of the most epic sunset views on Lake Burton. Additional Details include: self-contained fire suppression system, copper-clad Kolbe windows, antique terracotta tile, LiteTouch lighting system, extensive security system, 1G Fiber Optic Internet, slate roof, lightning rods, Generator, central vac
