About this home

Discover one of Smoke Rise's most distinctive homes-an expansive, architecturally rich residence set on 1.62 private acres with private Ramsden Lake access, lush landscaping, and a serene fenced backyard retreat. With over 5,000 sq ft plus a full basement, this estate blends grandeur, creativity, and comfort in a way few properties can match. Inside, tall ceilings and abundant natural light highlight the home's dramatic features, including a three story spiral staircase, four fireplaces, and custom millwork throughout. A dream for booklovers, the home offers extensive built-in shelving across multiple rooms, creating warm, inviting spaces for reading, display, and quiet enjoyment. The main level showcases a dining room with a coffered ceiling, a sunroom with a wet bar overlooking the grounds, flex room, great room, bedroom and bath on the main, and a kitchen designed for serious storage and function. Multiple porches-front and back balcony porches-extend the living space outdoors and frame views of the pond and mature landscaping. With 5 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and a half bath, the home provides exceptional flexibility for all, guests, or multigenerational living. You will fall in love with the upper office/sunroom with a sink and a fridge. Unique features elevate the experience even further: an upper level laundry, sauna, two secret rooms, and a layout ideal for both everyday living and memorable entertaining. The lower level walks out to the backyard. There is a bedroom, bath, entertaining room with a large bar and an area that has served as a wine cellar. There is also a room that would be an excellent media room and several other rooms that could be used as you wish. The exterior grounds are a standout-lush, private, and thoughtfully designed, with a pond, fenced yard, hot tub garden vignettes and direct access to the private lake. Whether relaxing on the porch, exploring the gardens, or enjoying the water, the property offers a rare combination of privacy and natural beauty. Offered at $1,150,000, this Silver Ridge estate delivers scale, character, and amenities that are nearly impossible to replicate.
