Some properties are deserving of a story and this one is no exception. I have many years of history with this property and it has been fun to watch over time. When I first sold this property to the current landowner, it was a blank canvas for them to make their own which is exactly what they did. At the time of their purchase there was nothing more than an old slab and two small sheds on the property. Everything else you see has been built by the sellers vision and efforts. And what a retreat they have made. The rustic, yet modern cabin is incredible and as you walk through you begin to pick up on the detail placed into the build.
Before ever entering the electronic gate you will notice the nearly 1/2 mile long private easement road that dead ends at this property. Most of the drive going in consists of towering pines on your left and natural hardwoods to the right providing unparalleled privacy and seclusion away from the highway.
The cabin is 2,546 ft2 under roof with 1,727 ft2 being heated and cooled. The exterior is all cypress which perfectly fits the setting and location. As you enter, the tall cathedral ceiling immediately grabs your attention and provides an excellent place to sit by the gas log fireplace and overlook the lake on cold, windy days. There are two bedrooms downstairs with two full baths, one of which is private to the master suite. There is a 290 ft2 loft that acts as a 3rd bedroom, but would also works great as an office, bunk room, or gear room. Solid wood cabinets in the kitchen, gas range, aged tin on the ceiling, and the large beam between the kitchen/living room are just a few accents that set this property apart from your standard budget build. An addiontal bonus are all the furnishings that convey which includes refrigerator, washer/dryer, beds, tables, and lamps. While the property is in the floodplain, the sellers acquired an Elevation Certificate and built accordingly so that flood insurance is not required in the event a mortgage is secured. In the building process they used a massive 80 yards of reinforced concrete for the footers/foundation to ensure it is solid. They also strategically used the height to their advantage and framed it such that there are 4 parking spaces below the cabin to keep vehicles and equipment out of the weather. The entire structure is insulated with spray foam including underneath which shows in the seller's report of average electric bills of only around $130/month. The massive front porch overlooking Spring Lake provides an incredible place to relax and entertain guests. The patio furniture conveys along with the wall mounted TV for those Fall days when your favorite football team is playing. There is an electric Galaxy elevator installed so that it's easy get large loads of gear or individuals up the stairs that may not be able to easily walk up the stairs. There is a 500 gallon propane tank on site for operation of ranges/griddles and fireplace.
The storage options on this property are extensive. There is a 36'x40' pole barn that includes electric and sewer hookups for 2 RV's/campers. Within the pole barn is an enclosed 12'x12' outdoor kitchen with gas range, stainless grill, griddle, sink, refrigerator, cabinets, and TV. Also within the pole barn is a 6 person above ground storm shelter to ensure you, your family, and guests have a safe place in the event of severe weather. Additionally, there is a 14'x24' storage building that can hold decoys, deer stands, and any other hobby or lawn maintenace items you may have.
There is a gravel boat ramp into Spring Lake which provides endless fishing opportunities and direct access into the White River when it is high.
