About this home

Welcome to your own private retreat, where resort-style living, spectacular lake views, and everyday luxury come together at this beautiful home in highly sought-after Lake Sovereign. Set on 1.34 private acres, this custom-built home captures breathtaking views of the pool, lake, and surrounding mountains. The heart of the home is the stunning lake-view kitchen, designed to make everyday moments feel like a getaway. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary with a spacious sitting area, spectacular lake views, and a large walk-in closet featuring a brand-new custom closet system and island. Step outside to your own backyard oasis, complete with an in-ground pool, lanai with stone fireplace, fire pit, and multiple outdoor living spaces—all perfectly positioned to take in the peaceful lake setting. The fully finished basement level is an entertainer’s dream, featuring a full kitchen/bar, theater room, game room, home gym, spacious bedroom, full bath, workshop and walkout access to the backyard. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath provide plenty of space for guests. One bedroom features a unique peek-a-boo window overlooking the main living area and lake beyond. The oversized 3-car garage is a standout feature in its own right, offering more than 1,000 square feet, soaring ceilings, and plenty of height for a boat, camper, or other recreational vehicles. Recent upgrades include three new HVAC systems, new hot water heater and new full house water filtration system, new saltwater pool system (filter/pump/heater), new Palladian transom windows at front of house, new primary closet system, new carpet, new painted kitchen cabinets, new door hardware throughout, new fences on both terrace levels, and so much more. Lake Sovereign residents enjoy an incredible array of amenities, including tennis courts, a lakeside pool, clubhouse, playground, and fishing boat/canoe ramps providing access to the community’s stocked lake. Private. Peaceful. Spectacular. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle designed to make every day feel like a vacation.
