This is not just a home but an experience. This gorgeous, unique home along with it's livable boat house sits on a mature, naturally landscaped .49 acre lot on Lake Oliver.

This gorgeous, unique home along with it's livable boat house sits on a mature, naturally landscaped .49 acre lot on Lake Oliver. It feels a world away from the hustle & bustle but is just a quick 7 minute drive to the grocery store, shopping, & dining. There is a controllable 130' white water stream that uses water from the lake. The natural looking stream has 2 ponds that can support fresh water fish including koi. The main house is 3494 sq feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 completely updated baths. Expansive decks offer breathtaking lake views. The main house is connected to a smaller A-frame (currently a game room) with work shop below. The livable boat house is really a treasured asset as they can no longer be built on the lake & there are only a few existing. The boat house has an open concept layout with 1 bedroom, a bunk, & 1 bath. It has a deck over the water. Underneath is a lift, & there is a stationary dock & floating dock. Wow!
