Discover an unparalleled opportunity to own a piece of history on the highly desired Lake Le Homme Dieu; on the Alexandria Chain of Lakes. The feels of time standing still are captivating as you step inside this magnificent 6,000+ sq ft historical residence, set on a sprawling 2.24-acre estate, with an impressive 257 feet of pristine Lakeshore. This is truly a rare find and one that comes available oh-so seldomly! From both the main and upper levels, every lakeside room frames breathtaking, panoramic water views that stretch to the horizon. With 5 spacious bedrooms and 3 baths, this grand home offers ample space for family and guests, blending historical charm with the potential for modern luxury. Meals and stories from long ago will be shared in the stunning lakeside-formal dining, the supersized great room or the 4-season porch. Experience the ultimate lake lifestyle with direct access to the chain, granting endless boating adventures and easy reach to multiple lakeside restaurants and beaches. Mature trees and a park-like setting make this estate the talk of the community and it surely has been for generations. This property offers the best of both worlds with the stunning views from the elevated home of both Le Homme Dieu and Carlos plus a gently sloped path down to the water's edge where you will enjoy a level, lakeside green space. This is more than a home; it's a cherished legacy waiting to be continued just as this family has for the past 50 years!
