Exceptional Lakefront Retreat in Big Bay! Designed for strength, comfort, and unmatched views, this custom home is built on massive cement piers that extend 20 feet down, creating a solid foundation along the shoreline. The structure features steel-protected columns, a 6-inch thick reinforced steel driveway, lighting and sprinkler systems, 160' seawall, and every column anchored for hurricane resistance with extra bolts in place. Inside, the attention to detail is immediate. The living and kitchen areas span the entire rear of the home, lined with custom argon-glass windows and doors that frame sweeping lake views. Tile floors flow throughout, and reclaimed brick pair beautifully with rustic wood beams for a warm, high-end finish. The kitchen is equipped with Wolf and Jenn-Air appliances, including an induction range, griddle, steamer, built-in deep fryer, industrial vent hood, and Wolf warming drawer. Additional features include a Bosch built-in coffee system, convection oven, steam oven, and a farmhouse-style copper and brushed nickel sink overlooking the lake. The large island offers a secondary sink and granite surfaces with exceptional workspace. The connected pantry, laundry, and broom closet provide access to both the kitchen and guest suite for added functionality. The primary suite occupies the rear left side of the home, offering incredible lake views through a wall of windows. The primary bath showcases etched glass French doors, a slipper soaking tub, a 6x4 custom tile shower with rain and multi-heads, double vanities, and built-in makeup storage with lift-up mirror lighting. The walk-in closet includes a built-in safe which can be purchased separately. Throughout the home, solid knotty alder doors, dual-patterned custom cuts, and up-down privacy blinds add to the craftsmanship. A private guest suite functions as a self-contained apartment, with its own balcony, kitchenette, and separate entrance. The bathroom here is ADA-compliant and is also electrically wired for a lift to be installed if desired. A hallway with sliding barn doors reveals built-in bunk beds perfect for overflow sleeping space. Upstairs is a finished art and crafts room, office, sleeping loft, or flex space. Downstairs, the heated and cooled storage area off the garage is wired for entertainment and includes a range, ice maker, and cabinetry. The outdoor living space is as impressive as the interior. The alfresco kitchen features Columbia block and brick construction, thick granite counters, a large sink, warming drawers, beverage coolers, a built-in crawfish cooker, and exhaust fans with window ventilation. The area is also wired for sound, infrared heaters, and lighting making it ideal for entertaining. The boathouse is already plumbed for a bathroom with water and sewer connections in place for upper-level build-out. There's also a boat and jet ski fuel tank. A whole-house V8 generator with a 2,000-gallon tank ensures comfort and peace of mind. The property includes 200-amp infrared heaters, 600-amp wiring, spray foam insulation throughout, and commercial-grade metal roofing with hidden fasteners. Additional highlights include a storm-safe bathroom downstairs, four covered parking bays, and a full concrete waterfront just 20 feet from the lake. The outdoor areas offer multiple decks and patios with stunning water views perfect for watching fireworks and sunsets. Surround sound is wired inside the front of the home, upper balcony, carport, and outdoor kitchen area. Select furnishings and boats are available for separate purchase.
