Tucked away on 13 breathtaking acres in the sought-after Lake Hills community, this extraordinary custom home feels less like a residence and more like a private retreat hidden among the trees. Located just across the street from the community beach and surrounded by nature with a peaceful pond, multi-level decks, and soaring wooded views in every direction, the property offers a rare sense of privacy and escape while still being conveniently located with easy interstate access and just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences. This is the kind of property that instantly slows your heartbeat the moment you arrive. Rich in craftsmanship, character, and architectural detail, the home was designed to be experienced. Tongue-and-groove ceilings stretch throughout much of the home, complemented by stunning woodwork, dentil moulding, dramatic stone accents, handmade plantation shutters, and a striking blend of oak, tile, and herringbone brick flooring that gives the interiors warmth, texture, and timeless charm. The layout is as memorable as the setting itself. Step inside to an impressive entryway where brick floors, stone walls, and warm wood ceilings immediately set the tone. The main level offers two secondary bedrooms, one and a half baths, dining space, kitchen, and beautifully connected gathering areas designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The sunroom adds yet another layer of charm to the home with its vaulted beamed ceilings, custom built-in bookshelves, and private access to the deck overlooking the peaceful natural surroundings - an ideal spot to begin the morning with coffee or unwind at the end of the day. Just beyond, a half-flight downstairs reveals a remarkable living room with soaring ceilings and an entire wall of windows that creates the feeling of living within the trees. Natural light pours inside while the layered architectural design offers stunning sightlines throughout the home. Upstairs, the owner's suite is truly its own private sanctuary. The oversized bedroom features vaulted wood ceilings, a fireplace, separate sitting room, spa-inspired bath with oversized windows overlooking the backyard and pond, and two sets of double doors opening to a private screened porch where mornings begin peacefully and evenings end surrounded by nature. Outside, the experience continues with expansive decking, wooded privacy, and a pond that feels like something out of a mountain resort. From slow mornings with coffee overlooking the trees to evenings spent gathered with family and friends, the property was designed to embrace both peaceful retreat and effortless entertaining. Adding even more versatility to the property is the separate three-car garage/workshop complete with electricity and water. Ideal for woodworking, hobbies, creative projects, car enthusiasts, additional storage, or even future expansion opportunities, the space perfectly complements the property's blend of functionality and lifestyle. With newer HardiePlank siding and roof already in place, this home offers the rare combination of exceptional craftsmanship, architectural character, privacy, and natural beauty in one unforgettable setting. This is more than a home - it is a retreat, a lifestyle, and a place meant to be deeply lived in and loved. Whether entertaining guests, enjoying quiet evenings outdoors, or simply taking in the peaceful surroundings, every inch of this property invites memories to be made, traditions to be created, and life to be experienced a little more fully.
