About this home

Welcome to a truly rare waterfront opportunity offering approximately 4,300 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 4.5 private acres, and nearly 500 feet of shoreline. Built by the same legendary craftsman responsible for constructing Tony Stewart’s personal residence, this handcrafted log-style home showcases exceptional quality and timeless design. The exterior logs were individually sourced and shipped from Montana, creating the character of a mountain lodge while offering modern construction advantages. Unlike a traditional full-log cabin, this home was engineered as a stick-built residence with authentic log accents, providing improved insulation, efficiency, structural stability, and long-term durability. Heated concrete floors throughout every level add year-round comfort and quality. Since ownership began, this estate has undergone an extensive transformation with major improvements throughout the property. Recent upgrades include professional log restoration and refinishing, replacement of compromised logs, upgraded decking, oversized gutters, custom rain chains, extended electrical service to the waterfront, hillside excavation and stabilization, extensive landscaping enhancements, and significant shoreline improvements. The outdoor living spaces are truly exceptional, featuring expansive stamped concrete and exposed aggregate hardscapes, custom walkways, handcrafted staircases, multiple gathering areas, and a breathtaking connection from the home to the shoreline. The waterfront is the centerpiece of this estate with a fully custom luxury boathouse completed in January 2026, featuring premium stone finishes, custom architectural details, TimberTech decking, multiple staircases, spacious seating areas, dual personal watercraft lifts, and a heavy-duty boat lift designed for today’s largest wake boats. Additional waterfront improvements include a new steel seawall, steel retaining wall, concrete waterfront areas with built-in fire pits, and a private custom concrete boat launch—an exceptionally rare amenity on Lake Freeman. Enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the water, evenings by the fire, boating adventures, fishing, wildlife watching, and the unmatched privacy of your own wooded retreat. With mature trees, abundant wildlife, scenic elevated views, apple and raspberry plants, and room to explore by ATV, side-by-side, or golf cart, this property offers an experience that simply cannot be duplicated.
