Property Description

Where Peaceful Living Meets Luxury Perfectly positioned on one of Buffalo Lake's most extraordinary settings, this one-of-a-kind estate pairs 5,634 FSF of timeless architecture with 34 secluded acres and over 1,200 feet of private shoreline. Whether your dream is having a quiet waterfront sanctuary to enjoy for generations or you're seeking the ultimate executive retreat, the possibilities here are as expansive as the views. Built in 1998, this remarkable walk-out rambler with custom craftsmanship was carefully designed to capture both the beauty of the water and the grandeur of the setting. The regal formal foyer welcomes you beneath a graceful curved ceiling into sophisticated living spaces accented by stately columns, rich hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and walls of windows that frame views of the lake. The formal dining room is beautifully appointed with an elegant tray ceiling and a built-in buffet, creating an exceptional setting for holiday gatherings and formal entertaining. At the heart of the home, the spacious kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a two-tier center island, granite countertops, a double oven, a kitchen window, and an additional informal dining area. The two fireplaces add warmth and character on each level, while the generous living spaces were designed to entertain on a grand scale. You'll also enjoy the convenience of single level living with a main floor laundry, mud room, and primary suite. The stately double door entry sets the tone for a distinguished primary suite, featuring an abundance of windows that fill the space with natural light, an eye-catching recessed ceiling, oversized walk-in closet, spa-like bath with jacuzzi tub and separate shower, plus direct access to the rear deck where peaceful mornings and fresh air await. The walkout lower level was designed for memorable entertaining. A dedicated billiards room centers around the included pool table, complete with a custom built-in rack for cues and balls. Rich custom cabinetry anchors the impressive bar, where the included bar furniture, center island, and a charming freestanding gas stove create an inviting space to gather. The sliding door opens directly to the patio on the lake side of the home, seamlessly extending the entertaining space outdoors. When it's time to unwind, the spacious sauna offers a private wellness retreat after a day on the lake. Completing this exceptional level is a fully self-contained guest suite with its own private entrance, access to the tuck under garage, paved parking, separate laundry, and a full kitchen, offering ideal accommodations for extended family, long-term guests, or live-in caretakers. Outside, the amenities continue to impress. Multiple access points lead to an expansive trex deck with modern cable railing overlooking the lake and manicured lawn. Car enthusiasts and hobbyists will appreciate the heated and cooled attached 3-car garage, additional heated tuck-under 2-car garage on the lake side, and the outstanding 50x40 two-story shop with a partially heated lower level and a partially finished/heated upper level. An asphalt driveway, newer roof, and a secluded second beach tucked further down the shoreline only add to this property's remarkable appeal. With its irreplaceable setting, outstanding floor plan, and truly unmatched combination of acreage and shoreline, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Some properties simply cannot be recreated. This is one of them.
