This custom-crafted residence spans 5,579 square feet and blends rustic charm with refined design to create an extraordinary lakefront sanctuary. The exterior showcases board and batten wood siding with a hand-hewn appearance and a timber-frame gabled front porch with an arched wood door which provides a warm welcome. Inside, the great room stuns with soaring vaulted ceilings that have exposed dark-stained beams in a decorative truss pattern, with floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace crafted from irregular rough-cut stone and a reclaimed wood mantel. French doors and transom windows lead to the deck, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living while framing the panoramic lake and mountain views like fine art. A grand antler chandelier adds a rustic touch to the vaulted ceilings lined with tongue-and-groove paneling. Framed by heavy timber trusses, the deck space feels both open and sheltering—ideal for year-round enjoyment. Boasting 5 bedrooms and 6 full baths, this home is thoughtfully designed for comfort and functionality with two laundry rooms, dual master suites on the main level, and a spacious bonus bunk room above the garage, a whole house generator and so much more. The master suite features a cozy gas-log fireplace for added luxury. The kitchen is designed to be both a culinary workspace and a central gathering place. At its heart is a large, richly veined granite island with a contrasting dark wood base, cream-colored, raised-panel cabinets, which offer ample prep space, seating for six, and a built-in sink—ideal for both casual dining and entertaining. A wall of tall windows wraps around the dining area, located within the kitchen, showcasing the views and flood the room with soft, filtered light. The lower level offers three ensuite bedrooms, a gorgeous custom home wet bar with live-edge wood bar top and hand-hewn wood legs, granite countertops, under-counter beverage cooler and microwave, wine rack, and shiplap wall detail. A spacious rec room with gas log fireplace, built-in hallway bunk beds, and access to a covered patio—perfect for entertaining. A long winding paver path leads you down to your private dock, completing this idyllic lakeside escape, Seller willing to sell furnished.
