Description

Experience the feeling of a private mountain retreat every day in this beautifully remodeled custom home, where breathtaking, unobstructed views create an unforgettable backdrop from nearly every room. Thoughtfully renovated just five years ago, this exceptional residence blends elegant modern finishes with warmth, comfort, and effortless livability. Expansive Pella windows fill the dramatic great room with natural light, seamlessly connecting the indoors to the stunning surroundings. The gourmet kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring leathered granite countertops, an oversized center island, abundant cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The inviting living area centers around a tiled gas fireplace and opens to an impressive 1,200-square-foot Batu mahogany deck with sleek wire railing, maximizing the panoramic views and creating the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, or simply soaking in the peaceful scenery. The luxurious primary suite captures the spectacular vistas and offers a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub, separate shower, and serene ambiance. A private ensuite guest bedroom, spacious third bedroom, and two versatile rooms on the lower level provide ideal spaces for home offices, a fitness room, art studio, or additional guest accommodations. Practical amenities complement the home's beauty, including an oversized insulated two-car garage with EV charger, additional covered parking for a boat or RV, owned solar for energy efficiency and lower utility costs, and wiring for a backup generator to provide added peace of mind. Accessed by a gentle paved private driveway and located just minutes from the Scotts Flat Lake boat ramp, this remarkable property has also proven successful as a vacation rental, offering excellent flexibility as a full-time residence, weekend escape, or income-producing investment. This is more than a home it's a year-round retreat where luxury and nature exist in perfect harmony.
