Welcome to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a breathtaking storybook estate with 619 feet of pristine lakefront—a property rich in history, character, and natural beauty. Including 4951 N Lakeshore and 4931 N Lakeshore, this estate spans two separate parcels and includes two exquisitely preserved historic homes, offering a total of 8 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms, and 3 half baths across 4,350 square feet of living space. Whether you're seeking a multi-generational haven, a private guest compound, or a place to entertain in unforgettable style, this estate delivers versatility and charm in equal measure. Nestled on a gently sloping hillside and surrounded by wooded trails, natural creeks, and scenic ravines, the property feels worlds away—yet it’s fully equipped for both relaxation and recreation. Enjoy summer days on your own sandy beach, unwind at the charming beach house—complete with a full bathroom and cozy living space—or stroll the cement pier that extends gracefully into crystal-clear waters. For those who love to entertain, the estate features a tennis court, expansive pavilion, and several outdoor fireplaces perfect for twilight gatherings. Inside, you'll find five fireplaces throughout the two homes, adding warmth, ambiance, and timeless character to the interiors. And for a truly magical touch, a whimsical treehouse—complete with bunk beds, electricity, and running water—offers an unforgettable escape for both kids and the young at heart. A collection of multiple outbuildings adds even more opportunity—ideal for storing boats and equipment, or transforming into creative studios, workshops, or additional guest space. This is more than a home; it’s a legacy estate where timeless architecture meets unspoiled nature. Whether you’re dreaming of a serene getaway, a storybook setting for unforgettable family moments, or a one-of-a-kind investment in lifestyle and land—this extraordinary property must be experienced to be believed. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of living history in one of the most picturesque settings imaginable. Property is under audio and video surveillance at all times.
