From there, take a short boat ride across to your private dock and ascend to your personal island estate. The main residence is a custom-designed home featuring 4 spacious bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, and 2 half baths. A charming 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath guest cottage provides additional accommodations for extended family. Inside the main home, exquisite craftsmanship is immediately evident. Vaulted ceilings, rich wood flooring, and extensive custom woodwork set a warm, inviting tone. The light-filled great room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, a stunning stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, and a stylish wet bar. The chef’s kitchen offers generous space for preparing memorable meals and opens into a comfortable dining area and an additional sitting area with a second fireplace. A private office and a large laundry room are located just beyond. Also on the main level is a luxurious, resort-style primary suite featuring a spa-like bath and dual walk-in closets. Upstairs, a spacious loft separates two guest bedrooms, each with its own full bath. The expansive lower level is made for entertaining, with a secondary kitchen/wet bar, pool table area, media room with fireplace, and game space with dart board and card table. An additional bedroom with a full bath is also located on this level. Both levels of the home open to generous deck space, with the main-level deck featuring yet another wood-burning fireplace. The estate includes an adjacent lot to the left, offering additional privacy or space for future development.
