About this home

Lake Living Retreat! Discover one of Emerald Bend’s best-kept secrets: a rare Polynesian/Hawaiian-style pole lakehouse nestled on a wooded corner lot with a circular drive. This distinctive retreat offers a serene blend of charm and rustic lake living, just minutes from Emerald Bend parks and boat ramp. Accessed via the second floor, the open-concept layout showcases vaulted, solid redwood ceilings and walls with exposed beams, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Skylit ceilings with retractable covers and manual ceiling vents provide abundant natural light and help regulate indoor temperature. The living area includes a built-in bar with wet sink, kegerator and a wired entertainment center, complete with vintage cassette player. A snooker table is also conveys! The island kitchen features solid wood cabinetry, a breakfast/serving bar, pantry closet and adjacent dining area with direct access to the wrap-around balcony. Two generously sized bedrooms offer ample closet space, individual box speakers with volume control and private balcony access. A full bath and storage closet housing the HVAC and entertainment system complete the upper level. Ground level oversized garage and utility area includes a ¾ bath, laundry/utility space, and an open carport—ideal for storage, hobbies or lake gear. Just a short drive to both Little Emerald and Emerald Park. Convenient access to the boat ramp, which remained usable even during drought conditions.
