Property Highlights: 86± acres with sweeping water vistas, open fields, and meticulously manicured lawns. Varied shoreline: riprap, sandy beaches, and natural grasses.

Two subdivided, waterfront lots included: Lot 2: 6± acres on Briary Cove (east side), with prior SDA approval for a 4-bedroom home (re-evaluation required). Lot 3: 5.5± acres is located on Waterhole Cove (west side), with prior SDA approval for a 4-bedroom home (re-evaluation required). Historic Lowes Family Cemetery on the west side, dating to the 1700s. Land mix: approximately 60± acres tillable; balance in timber and lawns along the eastern shoreline.
Main Residence: Custom-built in 2004, approx. 7,400 sq ft, four en suite bedrooms. Primary suite in the main-floor north wing with private laundry, library, office/workout room, and sunroom. Dramatic great room and dining room with vaulted ceiling, chestnut beams, cedar ceiling, and a raised-hearth stone fireplace. Signature silo feature: 1st and 2nd floors: full baths serving two bedrooms. 3rd floor: window-lined observatory with 360° views across the estate. Wide-plank wood floors milled from the same chestnut as the great room beams. Exceptional craftsmanship throughout; a must-see for discerning buyers.
Guest/Farmhouse: Approx. 2,000 sq ft with three bedrooms and one bath. Two wood-burning fireplaces (living room and dining room). Charming and versatile for guests, caretakers, or rental income.
