Located on a very secluded ten wooded acres on Bull Shoals (with no neighbors in sight, ever), this custom-built 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath, 3700 square foot, three-level home joins the government take line. It has many extras, including a 40' x 40' shop building and a 10' x 24' stall in a nearby community dock. There are a lift, boat, and motor in that stall that all stay with the deal.
The home has exceptional craftsmanship and several innovations to keep year-round energy costs remarkably low. With its multiple roof angles, quaint kitchen walkway, patio with porch swings, and vaulted living room ceiling, you'll find a uniquely artistic yet functional design.
On the ground floor are the essentials--a comfortable living room with a gas log fireplace, a dining area open to the kitchen, a pantry/laundry room, a master bedroom, a den, and an entry hall bath. The walkout basement has a large living area, 2 bedrooms, a bathroom, a den, and ample storage space. On the upper level, 2 extra-large bedrooms flank a sitting area and bathroom and provide an excellent guest place. They could alternately serve as specialty use areas such as workout rooms, dens, or artist studios.
Facing the lake is a roomy deck with an enclosed room on the side for a shaded indoor/outdoor retreat. The nearby shop is a handyman's dream and has a full bathroom. Outside are a chicken coop and raised garden. Stairs built into the gently sloping ground lead to the relatively level back yard.
Ten mostly wooded acres and an end-of-the-road location provide plenty of privacy. There's a limited lake view now and a better one in the winter. Some tree-trimming would enhance this quite a bit. If you drive to Theodosia from here, it's ten miles. If you walk down to the lake and swim to town, it's only two miles. The energy efficiency on that would vary quite a bit from person to person.
