AUCTION BIDDING OPEN: Bidding ends 12/3. Previously Listed 4.729M. Current High Bid 2.5M. A stunning fusion of lakeside serenity and bespoke luxury, this exceptional estate offers an unparalleled living experience. Owned by the renowned science fiction author Andy Weir, this property was expertly redesigned and renovated from the ground up by award-winning architects Benvenuti & Stein and Karl Straussburger. The property sits on a private peninsula with 111 feet of pristine lakefront, one of only 14 properties with exclusive riparian rights. Inside, elegance meets modern convenience with an open floor plan, newly built unused kitchen, and a sunroom adorned with 100-year-old barn wood and heated floors. Enjoy alfresco dining on the expansive brick patio, gather around the fire pit on cool evenings, or simply take in the serene lake views from the lush, landscaped backyard, which offers plenty of space for a future pool or sport court. The floating dock provides direct access to the lake for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or even winter ice skating, while a custom-built retaining wall ensures the shoreline remains intact for years to come. Every detail has been meticulously curated, from the grand foyer to the multiple custom-designed offices and luxurious en suite bedrooms, making this home the perfect retreat for those seeking beauty, comfort, and exclusivity.
