Discover this stunning 2,883 SF log cabin-style home, nestled on 4 spectacular waterfront acres with nearly 300 feet of lake frontage, plus a private pond, offering the best of both worlds. This cypress sided 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath retreat, formerly a contractor's personally built home, features innumerable distinctive features, setting it apart from the ordinary, and has no HOA! The home features over 1,000 SF of inviting porches, perfect for taking in both the sunrise and sunset. Each room maximizes calm water views with walls of windows, bringing in loads of light. The spacious family room highlights its soaring pine cathedral ceilings & overhead loft and walkway, while overlooking the lake. All the work has been done and it is truly move-in ready with fresh paint and new flooring throughout much of the home. The kitchen sings with exquisite details: apron-front hammered copper farm sink with 2nd bar sink in the island, wine fridge, double wall ovens, gas cooktop, stained glass details and even a life-size chalkboard and built-in desk with bookshelves for homework, cookbooks, etc. The pantry is so expansive, it's like having your own personal general store! Adjacent is the captivating dining room, complete with custom black tin ceiling & oak ceiling medallion with stained glass chandelier. The downstairs master bedroom has stunning lakefront views, a window seat to enjoy them, and an expansive walk through closet (& dressing area complete with separate vanities) thru to the luxurious master bath. Enjoy soaking in the jetted tub and separate 4x8 tiled shower with two shower heads. The remaining 4 bedrooms are upstairs, each designed identically. They each have an additional super cozy loft area for kids, designed especially for a twin mattress, accessed by ladder (or just use it for storage!). A few special details are: wrought iron railings, pine ceilings and wainscoting and 2'' wood blinds. This home is unmistakably designed for entertaining and gathering together, both indoors and out. Step outside to your very own massive party deck overlooking the pond and the lake on your giant 24x24 deck, just off the kitchen; perfectly laid out for cookouts - or the addition of a hot tub! Picture friends and family watching movies or celebrating game days on the deck, as it comes fully equipped with a pull-down screen for outdoor viewing.
Whether you're fishing or just relaxing, you'll not only enjoy the floating dock, you can "put in" right from your back yard with a private boat launch. As a bonus, the property includes a 1,000+ SF shop with water, electricity, an automatic garage door, with ample storage, including overhead loft storage. A perfect place to tinker or store your holiday decorations. An oversized, extra tall carport with a RV hookup, provides a convenient spot for your RV or additional vehicles. There's even a lighted basketball court on the grounds.

Best of all, this incredible property comes with no HOA restrictions, offering you the freedom to truly make it your own. With almost 300 feet of prime waterfront, this lakeside log cabin is the perfect blend of tranquility, space, and adventurewhether you're seeking a peaceful retreat or an entertainer's dream! This would make a superior corporate retreat, short term rental, or of course, a personal home (and to date, it has always served as a family home). What this property embodies is in the very name itself: HAVEN.
