For sale for the first time ever, we bring you this 6500 sf estate perched high on a hand selected 1.4 acre lot w/ views from nearly every room overlooking the 51 acre ski-lake Josephine. Let’s talk details: 6 Bed, 6.5 Bath, 3 car garage & guesthouse. Enter the home through double doors & you’ll be awestruck by the view of the infinity pool & lake through a triple set of glass french doors. This formal living room at the heart of the home is an ideal place for receiving party guests & serving a cocktail at the custom built bar on their way out to the pool deck. Your guests will be captured by the glamorous curved staircase w/ granite steps, marble risers & decorative iron railing ascending to the 2nd floor loft beneath the 21’ ceiling. No expense was spared on the timeless appointments throughout including the striking European crystal chandelier.

Whether you’re preparing a meal or watching the evening news, panoramic lake views remain intact. Just off the main kitchen is a prep kitchen, the laundry room, & access to the attached three car garage w/ new epoxy floors. On the opposite side of the house is the ever important ground floor Owners Suite w/ tray ceilings & wood-like tile floors in the bedroom & marble floors in the 5-star bathroom which has two large, walk-in closets.
