1402 terral island road

Perched high on a hill overlooking Lake Darbonne, this one-of-a-kind A-frame delivers all the perks of lake living—without flood insurance, seawalls, or waterfront maintenance. Adding to the appeal, a public boat launch is within walking distance, making it easy to enjoy boating, fishing, and lake days while returning home to high ground and peace of mind. Built in the 1980s with a timeless mid-century modern vibe, this striking two-story home offers 3,702 heated square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3 full bathrooms, along with two living/family rooms and two kitchens—ideal for multi-generational living, guests, or entertaining on a grand scale. Vaulted ceilings, dramatic architectural lines, and an abundance of windows and sliding glass doors flood the home with natural light while perfectly framing the outstanding lake views. Outdoor living shines with two expansive 24x24 decks, one on the front and one on the back, providing multiple spaces to relax, entertain, and take in the scenery. Inside, you’ll find two wood-burning fireplaces, beautiful built-ins, and exceptional storage throughout the home and exterior spaces. The upstairs family room features vaulted ceilings, while the upstairs kitchen is equipped with a built-in grill and wine cabinet—perfect for hosting. Set on a rare 5-acre tract—an unheard-of find this close to the lake—the property also includes a 4-car carport, generous outdoor storage, a spacious laundry room with double sinks, and two HVAC systems (5-ton & 3-ton) for comfort and efficiency. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy lake views, architectural character, privacy, and convenient lake access—all without the typical waterfront obligations. Homes like this near Lake Darbonne simply don’t come along often.
