Description
Gracefully nestled at water's edge among lofty pines on over 115 utterly private and unspoiled woodland acres, this breathtaking lakefront country home features five bedrooms and four-and-a-half bathrooms and over 8, 000 sq ft of luxurious living space. With extraordinary craftsmanship and exceptional materials, this custom built contemporary residence harmoniously integrates with its natural surroundings, showcasing cathedral ceilings, custom cherry cabinetry, heart pine and stone floors, and expansive stone fireplaces. Seemingly endless Albertini sliding glass doors and large windows frame captivating views of the manicured grounds and Winchester Lake, a 229-acre body of water known for its undeveloped shoreline, fishing, kayaking, and pristine water. The interior of this home offers a seamless flow, ideal for both intimate and large gatherings. At the heart of the house, a stunning great room features double-height ceilings and an impressive stone fireplace crafted from stones sourced from the property. Adjacent to the fireplace, a cozy windowed reading nook in the great room provides the perfect spot to unwind. Neighboring the formal dining room, the gourmet chef's kitchen is fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, with an adjoining wet bar and spacious wine cellar., The breakfast room, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee and surrounded by glass walls, flows seamlessly from the kitchen to an expansive screened-in porch, complete with built-in grill, where the lake-facing wall can be opened completely to an outdoor covered patio space for weather- and sun-protected indoor/outdoor lounging and dining options of any scale. The first-floor primary suite boasts vaulted ceilings and another impressive property-sourced stone fireplace. The luxurious bathroom features double sinks, a spacious shower, and a whirlpool jetted soaking tub. A generously sized wardrobe and access to a private terrace complete this elegant primary bedroom. Additional first-floor amenities include a media/game room, mudroom, windowed laundry/storage room, powder room, and temperature-controlled three car garage. Ascend the sculptural staircase to the second-floor landing overlooking the great room, an ideal space for hanging art. The upper level includes four generously sized bedrooms with large windows and extensive custom built-in cherry cabinetry, three full bathrooms, and a lounge. The outdoor amenities of this four-season retreat are equally impressive. Enjoy sunny days by the pool or retire to the pool house, complete with a wet bar, full bathroom, indoor shower, storage, changing room, outdoor shower, and separate sauna-ready room. The adjacent tennis court overlooks the pool, offering a perfect blend of lakeside recreation and relaxation, surrounded by the sounds of songbirds and majestic woodlands. An architect-designed boathouse of identical materials and aesthetic accommodates kayaks, paddle boards, and all watersport and winter sports equipment needs. For winter sport enthusiasts, in addition to ice fishing, snow shoeing, ice skating and cross country skiing on the lake, the property is also less than 30-minutes from two ski areas. Boasting a mile of lake frontage, including a private island and its own unique boat launch and channel, this estate is one of only four properties with direct access to and frontage on Winchester Lake. Expansive meadows, lush lawns, burbling streams and numerous trails invite you to explore and immerse yourself in nature.
