Once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a spectacular lakefront estate set on more than eight acres of beautifully landscaped property, of which over 3 acres are waterfront, with over 400 feet of sandy beach lakefront. This extraordinary residence, designed by world-renowned architect Gino Rossetti, offers privacy, luxury, and craftsmanship that must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated. The estate includes two additional parcels of land, both offering water privileges on Orchard Lake, adding even more value and potential. The adjacent lots are currently being utilized as green space for raised gardens, archery stations, camping sites, a tennis/pickleball court, and a raised fort...a true summer camp experience. Enhancing the waterfront lifestyle, the estate features a private dock and a lap pool, and includes four jet skis along with a wake-surfing boat, offering a turnkey recreational experience on the water. Professionally designed and decorated throughout, the home showcases exceptional quality, imported materials, and solid construction. The main level features a first-floor primary suite complete with expansive custom closets. Captivating architectural elements set this home apart, including a breathtaking conservatory with a striking water wall feature, a full-length fireguard wall safe, and a private underground tunnel that connects to the lower level. Convenience is enhanced with an elevator that services all levels of the home. The property is equipped with commercial-grade furnaces (both gas forced air and radiant heat) and mechanical systems to ensure efficiency and comfort. A Cummins whole-house generator provides added peace of mind.
This remarkable estate is a rare offering that combines luxury and one-of-a-kind features in an unparalleled lakefront setting. 4785 Dow Ridge Road / Tax Parcel ID 1810102001 and 4845 Dow Ridge Road / Tax Parcel ID 1810102002 are included in this sale.
