Tucked away off a private wooded drive is a unique mountain lake retreat. The trees and landscape open up to reveal the gardens, a fine yet rustic home, with guest house, arbor and large porch. The picturesque lake glistens below. Framed by a gardeners' paradise...filled with perennials. It looks like a slice of heaven! This is the perfect getaway for two or for a big family. Peaceful and serene. Yet just minutes from activities such as boating and hiking, golf, tennis and more. The interior aviary can also be a tropical greenhouse...or both, if preferred. Rumsford fireplaces anchor the gathering places in the great room and on the roofed screened porch. The kitchen is open, airy and well equipped. This special home is ideal for entertaining. Having a full guest house makes family and friends' stay comfortable and easy for all. There is a hot tub and a generator and loads of storage. The homeowner can enjoy a quiet office downstairs with bookcases and built-ins. And there are extra areas that could be used for hobbies such as pottery or woodworking. Well known architect, Bruce Johnson,has designed this exciting residence to compliment the natural surroundings, and to draw the outdoors inside. The home features rustic beams, reclaimed pine floors, and lots of glass to highlight the exquisite views. A must see property!
