At the heart of the property lies an 8-acre private lake and a breathtaking 10,000 + square-foot estate home, perfectly positioned to capture sweeping water views from the expansive patios and wide veranda‘s. Currently a private residence, the home offers incredible versatility and could easily be converted to serve as a luxurious clubhouse, sportsman’s lodge, or an unforgettable event venue.
