Absolutely stunning from every angle, this custom-built, architecturally designed lakefront home is located in a gated subdivision within 1hr from Lafayette, Alexandria & Baton Rouge. Set on a tree-lined 125-ft lakefront lot, it offers a peaceful escape or the perfect full-time residence. The setting is exceptional; the back of the home faces Wilderness Lake, framed by hardwoods & moss-draped cypress trees. The lake connects to miles of waterways, providing endless opportunities for fishing, kayaking, skiing, tubing, or sunset boat rides. Enjoy an oversized covered pier with fish feeder, a boathouse with electric lift. Built in 2009 with thoughtful touches, this home blends warmth & comfort with architectural character. Tall windows & cathedral ceilings fill the interior with natural light and showcase stunning cypress floors. The kitchen features antique cypress cabinets, granite counters, a large island, and beams salvaged from a historic Melville home. The living area includes a custom fireplace, 12-ft cathedral ceilings, and a breathtaking wall of windows overlooking the lake. Antique stained glass pieces imported from the UK add charm throughout. The split floor plan offers spacious bedrooms. Two guest rooms share a beautifully designed bath with hammered copper sinks, slate counters, and bronze fixtures. The private primary suite offers an oversized soaking tub, separate shower, double sinks, and a large walk-in closet. Outdoor living is exceptional with huge porches, a serene screened patio, a heated gunite pool with swim-jet feature, a concrete fire-pit area, and bulkheaded shoreline.
