The main lodge straddles rustic and luxe, like a log cabin mansion in the Adirondacks. Completed sometime between 2004 and 2005, there are vaulted ceilings, arched alcoves, stencil-cut railings, and Venetian plaster walls. Highlights of the five-bedroom residence include a dining room with panoramic lake views, an office with built-in bookcases and a fireplace, a stunning full-floor primary suite, and a four-car garage.
Connected to the house is an enormous 8,000-square-foot spa complex outfitted with an indoor lap pool, a separate kid’s pool, a sauna, an eight-person steam room, and a gym. There’s also a poker room for relaxing with a high-stakes game of Texas Holdem after a vigorous workout. Come summertime, a private wade-in beach is part of the backyard. Even cooler, there’s a stretch of sand smack dab in the middle of one of the lakes that’s complete with a fire pit.
