Enjoy endless lake views from nearly every room in this spectacular direct waterfront home. This French-country inspired estate sits atop the shores of Lake Decatur offering amazing sunrises by morning, and moonlit reflections at night. The natural beauty of this location provides an ever-changing landscape. Custom built by owners that spared no expense in the quality and craftsmanship of this build. Rarely found oversized wooden doors and windows, beautiful ornate beams, natural stone fireplace, spectacular chandeliers, unique butler’s pantry, main floor primary suite and two full kitchens are just a few of the highlights. This newer home was designed to incorporate old world charm including 2 stained glass windows, antique French dining room doors, exterior light fixtures, intricate hardware. Every feature was well thought out and planned by architect, designer, and owner. The use of different brick, stone, tile and wood all add to the architectural appeal of this extraordinary property. This 6BR/7BA is perfect for entertaining and hosting yet exudes the warmth and comfort of your next family home.
Bayshore, located between Lake Decatur and U.S. Route 51, is a residential and lakeside Decatur neighborhood with shoreline views and winding, tree-lined streets. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lake Shore Drive and Dam West Recreation Area area, where boat ramps, picnic lawns, and trail traffic set the daily rhythm. Housing leans toward mid-century ranches and split-levels, with pockets of newer builds oriented toward the water. Lakefront greenspace shapes an outdoors-forward routine, from shoreline walks to fishing coves. Nearby cultural anchors like the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater and the Scovill Zoo add a civic, weekend-calendar feel without leaving the lake corridor.
