Included is an elaborate rambling dock system that extends into the lake allowing unprecedented access to the water for family and guests for easy swimming and boating , or just sitting at the shore. This contemporary home benefits from a well thought out open floor plan, highlighted by a massive blue-stone fireplace, flowing seamless into the dining and kitchen areas.
