Some homes are designed to impress, this one was built to belong. Nestled high in the canopy above Lost Lake, where the waters flow freely into Kid Lake, this newly constructed retreat doesn’t just offer a view, it offers perspective. Every window frames the changing seasons like a living painting: hardwoods blazing in fall, snow-dusted pines in winter, and the mirror-still lake all year round. A wraparound deck stretches across two sides of the home, covered in rich wood and open to the sights and sounds of the forest. Step inside, and the space opens into a soaring, vaulted great room where the dining, kitchen, and living areas flow together under a ceiling of warm wood and exposed beams. A gas fireplace anchors the living room. The kitchen was built with both beauty and function in mind with generous cabinetry, a five-burner gas stove, and an island for conversation or coffee. The real show-stopper is the pantry that’s as organized as it is ingenious, with pull-out shelves and hidden outlets for your favorite appliances. The owner’s suite is a quiet sanctuary with a wood-paneled wall, private bath with double sinks, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower trimmed in stone. A separate water closet and custom closet shelving round out the thoughtful design. There’s also a powder room on the main level, because good design is nothing without convenience. Downstairs, you’ll find a generous family room where knotty pine wraps the space in warmth, and a live-edge wet bar invites easy entertaining. From here, walk out to the lakeside patio and take in the hush of the water below. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath with double sinks give guests (or family) their own comfortable corner. A detached garage with a covered portico adds to the appeal, but it’s the details that leave a lasting impression: iron railings, wooden stairs, exquisite light fixtures, and hardware that feels like it was chosen, not just installed. This is not just a lake home. It’s a home with soul, surrounded by trees, light, water and peace.
