The three-bedroom post-and-beam home is filled with timeless island character, including cathedral ceilings, wide-pine floors, a fieldstone fireplace, and an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area with beautiful water views. A spacious screened breezeway creates a seamless connection between the lake and surrounding woods while providing an inviting space for dining and entertaining. The main house includes the primary bedroom and a full bath, while a separate guest suite offers a bedroom, three-quarter bath, and additional loft sleeping area (your guests will never want to leave). A charming waterfront bunkhouse provides even more accommodations for family and friends. The open backyard offers ample space for games and recreation, including a disc golf area. A 16-by-16-foot entertaining space was also designed to accommodate a future private wing.
