Welcome home to this rare opportunity to live the dream of intentional country living, just minutes from Lake Oconee and historic Madison, Georgia. This extraordinary 5.6-acre waterfront homestead is perfect for those seeking space, self-sufficiency, connection to nature, and a slower, more meaningful lifestyle. Nestled along a pristine 26-acre spring-fed, fully stocked private lake shared by only four homeowners, this property offers an incredible setting for fishing, swimming, kayaking, and exploring nature. The approximately 5,456-square-foot lodge-inspired home is warm and welcoming, ideal for entertaining, large gatherings, and multigenerational living. Rich wood-planked walls, soaring ceilings with exposed beams, and massive windows create a cozy yet spacious atmosphere. The stunning vaulted front porch, featuring oversized timber beams and flagstone flooring, welcomes you through dramatic eight-foot glass doors into a home designed for connection and everyday living. The terrace level is incredibly versatile, offering a massive entertaining area with dining space and dry bar, a large dedicated workout room, and a complete in-law suite with its own kitchen, dining area, family room, two bunk rooms, full bath, laundry, and plenty of storage. With two separate exterior entrances and covered flagstone porches, this level provides privacy and flexibility for extended family, guests, or even homeschool gatherings. A quiet private entrance area on the middle level creates the perfect study nook or reading room before opening into the heart of the home. The chef's kitchen features gorgeous white cabinetry, built-in appliances, a massive island, and extensive storage. The open-concept kitchen, dining, great room, and study area let you stay connected while enjoying breathtaking lake views from nearly every room. Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams and a massive stone fireplace add warmth and character. Just outside, the huge vaulted screened porch overlooking the lake is perfect for morning coffee, outdoor meals, or peaceful sunsets. The main-level owner's suite offers a relaxing retreat, while a large guest bedroom and full bath provide comfortable accommodations for visitors. Upstairs, you'll find an oversized bedroom and an open loft overlooking the great room - ideal for a homeschool classroom, playroom, library, or creative studio. Outside, the property shines as a true working homestead, with established gardens, a thriving orchard, beekeeping areas, and a charming designer chicken house. A beautiful barn offers endless possibilities for storage, workshops, or animals, and the home is wired for generator backup should you ever lose power. Two pavilions, a swimming and fishing dock, full RV hookups, and lake water for irrigation complete this incredible property. This isn't just a home - it's a place to build a life connected to nature, purpose, and peace."
