Property details
About 197 Big Springs Rd SE
Welcome to your private lakefront retreat- where everyday living feels like a getaway. Located behind a gated entry on a beautifully landscaped lot, this thoughtfully designed home offers direct lake access, scenic views, and both indoor and outdoor spaces made for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying nature. The front yard offers unique charm with an axe-throwing station and shaded sitting area under the mature trees. Step through the double front doors into a bright and welcoming foyer that flows into the open concept living space. To your left, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a gas stove, quartz countertops, a large breakfast bar, and walk in pantry cleverly built into the underside of the stairs. Adjacent to the kitchen is a dedicated dining area complete with a built-in bar and a second set of double doors that open to the side porch. The heart of the home, the two story family room, offers soaring ceilings, a gas fireplace, and an entire back wall of windows that flood the space with natural light and showcase breathtaking views. A third set of double doors leads out to the screened-in porch, perfect for enjoying the quiet beauty of the water. This home features not one but two primary suites on the main floor, each with full en suite bathrooms and his-and-hers closets. The main suite includes two large walk in closets, a double vanity with quartz countertops and built in shelving for easy organization. A dedicated laundry room offers plenty of space for storage and cleaning supplies. Upstairs, a spacious loft overlooks the family room and provides a stunning line of sight through the second story windows and straight out to the lake. A bonus room, located to the left of the loft, adds flexibility. You'll also find cedar-lined closets and tongue-and-groove ceilings that add a warmth and rustic charm throughout the home. Outside, you'll find even more to love with a separate workshop, storage shed, covered parking area for an ATV or other toys, and a short path that leads directly to a platform dock on the water- ideal for fishing, launching a kayak, or simply soaking in the serenity of the lake. This property is the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and lakefront lifestyle. Whether you're hosting guests, working remotely, or looking for a peaceful escape, this home has everything you need- and more!
