Nestled in one of Big Bay Lake's most serene and private enclaves, this stunning modern farmhouse offers a rare blend of tranquility, timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, and modern efficiency. With 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and a dedicated office, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a home that is as comfortable for everyday living as it is beautiful for entertaining.
Step inside to soaring 12' ceilings on the main level, a vaulted primary suite, and 10' ceilings upstairs. Premium Brazilian Cypress tongue-and-groove ceilings add warmth and character throughout the open living area, primary suite, and both porches. The living room is anchored by a striking linear fireplace surrounded by Casablanca rough-cut stone
, while the expansive back porch features a wood-burning fireplace framed in Old Chicago brick--the perfect place to unwind, gather with friends and family, and watch the unforgettable sunsets over the lake. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a double-apron fireclay sink with Delta Champagne Bronze fixtures, quartz countertops, and a 36' Cafe dual-fuel range with six burners.
Just beyond, the butler's pantry offers glass cabinetry, ceiling-height tile, and a beverage center. Imported 1800s French antique pantry doors sourced from North Africa bring an unexpected touch of history and character that makes this home truly one of a kind.
Upstairs, each bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own en-suite bath, while the loft with built-in bunk beds, individual sconces, and outlets creates a fun and inviting space for children, family, or weekend guests. The primary suite is its own private sanctuary, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and a spacious closet that also serves as a storm shelter with electrical outlets.
The spa-inspired bath features a zero-entry shower system with quartz wall detailing and a recessed linear drain, creating a sleek and relaxing retreat at the end of the day. Thoughtful efficiency is built into the home with spray foam insulation, two Carrier AC units with smart thermostats, and dual on-demand propane water heaters connected to a buried 500-gallon tank.
Even with all the space and amenities this home offers, the average electric bill is just $142 per month. Additional touches include a Generac transfer switch, 240V garage outlet, offset garage with insulated storage room, St. James exterior lighting, Astro Guard wide-plank waterproof wood flooring, a laundry room with fluted farmhouse sink and brick paver floors, and a custom office with granite desk and built-in lockers with outlets.
This meticulously crafted home brings together modern luxury and farmhouse charm in a setting that is difficult to duplicate. Here, mornings can begin quietly by the water, afternoons can be spent enjoying the lake, and evenings can end around the back-porch fireplace as the sun sets across Big Bay.
Construction is already underway on a custom-designed boathouse, adding even more to the enjoyment of this beautiful waterfront property. With its privacy, craftsmanship, waterfront setting, and breathtaking sunsets, this is more than a beautiful home--it is an opportunity to experience the lifestyle that makes Big Bay Lake so special.
