Designed by Modern Habitat with a modern approach to lake living. A main house is sited with prime lake views and a 24 foot pocketing glass door that allows the outside to come in. Opposing volumes allow the house to hinge along the curving shoreline, while the continuous wrap around deck makes the transition from inside to out seamless.
The bunk house is another 3 bedroom guest house positioned a short distance away on the same 2 acre lot with it's own private water views and dock.
