Greeted by the grand carport entrance with the hand-crafted double doors to enter in. There awaits a spectacular great room, donning 32 ft. cathedral ceilings and wall of windows facing the lake, that frame a beautiful floor to ceiling Fieldstone wood burning fireplace. This open concept follows into the dining area with seating for 20-24 guests, which flows nicely into the dream kitchen of unparalleled design. Complete with a butler area, and a bar serving area with wine coolers and tappers, allow for entertaining on a royal scale. Quaint, airy octagon seating in the kitchen has become the place for sunrises with coffee. A well-appointed, private chef/caretaker wing is off the kitchen. The grand master suite of over 1200 sq. ft. has towering 18 foot cathedral ceilings and another floor to ceiling gas flagstone fireplace. A luxury bathroom includes a whirlpool tub, double sinks with sophisticated marble countertop and a walk in shower with custom glass door. Four En Suite guest bedrooms on upper level are graced with outdoor terraces. In the lower walk out level is your family fun space with a good size den, a game room and the fireman's bunk room, a sauna, workshop, and attached garage. Another 3 car detached garage is waiting for your recreational toys. Outside walk the stone and paved pathway past the pond and waterfalls that leads to picnic point for a shore lunch in the pavilion or sit on the bench at the end of the point under the stars. Covered boat parking for 3+ boats. An incredible fish cleaning house with live wells and bait storage. This gem is truly a rare masterpiece!
