Experience the very best of lakefront living in this beautifully maintained, custom-built waterfront home on scenic Lake Carroll. Meticulously cared for by a longtime owner, this bright, immaculate property offers 144 feet of private shoreline and sits on nearly two-thirds of an acre of manicured grounds with breathtaking panoramic views. It's one of the most usable and desirable waterfront lots on the lake-spacious enough to comfortably accommodate two boats with lifts, two jet skis, and additional dockage. Whether you're into fishing, watersports, or leisurely cruises, it's like having your own private marina, complete with an oversized garage perfect for storing all your lake toys and gear. Inside, the main level features soaring 14' cathedral ceilings, Marvin high-efficiency windows, and a dramatic "greenhouse" window wall that floods the home with natural light and captures sweeping lake vistas. The open-concept living area includes Hunter-Douglas window treatments (three motorized), ceiling fans throughout, and a flue-less wood-burning fireplace with a Brazilian marble surround, delivering warmth and ambiance. A spacious 6' x 40' upper deck overlooks both the hillside and the water, providing an ideal space to relax or entertain. The lower level is a private wellness retreat, complete with a jetted whirlpool tub with dual motors and in-line heater for optimal comfort, and a six-person sauna with its own shower. Recent updates include new vinyl entry stairs and a new stairway with a lower deck leading to the shoreline, both completed in 2024. Additional highlights include a 2009 roof, 400'+ deep well with 2012 pump, 2016 HVAC, a 22,000 kW whole-house generator, an R/O drinking water system with UV purification, and an oversized 3.5-car heated garage with durable polyurea flooring. This home is being offered fully turnkey and includes all furniture, artwork, tools, and equipment, along with a 2003 Sweetwater 20' pontoon boat (with a 2016 60hp Mercury 4-stroke outboard and 2021 covers), an 8' x 24' floating dock, a 4' x 16' fixed dock, and a 2011 Kawasaki two-passenger utility vehicle.
