Perched along the Elk River side of Grand Lake O' the Cherokees, this one-of-a-kind retreat delivers front-row bluff views and approximately 114.8 feet of shoreline--an unforgettable setting from sunrise to sunset... and yes--pelicans visit in the fall, making the scenery even more special. Designed with character and intention, the log-and-stone lodge wraps around a charming courtyard with a tranquil fountain, creating a true destination feel. Inside, a peaceful sitting area invites you to relax to the soothing sounds of the waterfall while taking in views of the surrounding sanctuary. Offering roughly 3,200 square feet, the home features an open-concept layout with 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, making it ideal for full-time living or potential short-term rental use. The kitchen is built for gathering, with stainless appliances, double ovens, a 5-burner cooktop, and an oversized bar. Wood floors, ceilings, and hand-carved beams pair beautifully with custom built-ins and a cozy vented fireplace. Thoughtful updates throughout the home elevate both space and functionality, including a den, library, storm shelter access, updated windows, roof, exterior finishes, garage, and paved road access. The property continues to impress outdoors with a 30x40 heated woodworking shop featuring concrete floors and dual overhead doors, additional storage shed, and ample boat parking. One of the standout features is the recently installed tram system--providing a smooth, convenient ride from the home down to the water's edge, making lake access effortless while preserving the natural beauty of the bluff setting. At the shoreline, enjoy a concrete-floor dock with electric, encapsulated flotation, and dedicated swim space--perfect for maximizing your time on the water. This is more than a home--it's a Grand Lake experience.
