To get to this lovely gated Lake Cherokee home you will drive past "The Farm" - consisting of producing peach, persimmon, pear, apple and pecan trees as well as asparagus and grape vines. There is plenty of planting area for all of your seasonal favorites. The adjacent shop with one roll-up door is equipped with a two-zone heat pump. There are complete living quarters including full kitchen with stacked washer and dryer, bedroom, bathroom and cedar closet. The square footage of the heated/cooled shop is included in the entire square footage of the property. Enter the home through an iron door and step into the vestibule with a 13 ft. ceiling. Twenty-two foot soaring ceilings are throughout the main living area and kitchen. The river rock fireplace and hearth create the perfect place to welcome the cooler weather. Wolf and Subzero kitchen appliances answer every chef's dream! Along with the six-burner gas stove top you have two separate ovens, one having a steam/convection option as well as a separate microwave/warming drawer. The copper farm sink and glass front lighted upper cabinets help create the perfect ambiance for entertaining. The primary suite is located just off the breakfast area. Some exquisite features include end-cut mesquite flooring, his/hers office area and beautiful views of the lake on two walls. The en-suite bathroom consists of his/hers walk-in closets with built-ins and pull down racks for out of season storage. There is plenty of space to get ready for your day with the oversized walk-in shower, large claw foot tub, seated vanity area and separate sinks. One of the closets adjoins the large laundry room and on into the kitchen at the butler's pantry area. The game room is equipped with a KitchenAid ice maker, wine cooler and beverage refrigerator. The tall ceilings make for a large area just waiting for a pool table and full sized shuffle board. A half bath with generous storage is attached. Two bedrooms are located nearby, each with a private bath. Leading to the garage is a wine room set up for beverage and equipment storage. The 2 car garage is extra deep to accommodate large trucks or SUVs. There is a smaller garage perfect for a golf cart or yard equipment. The outdoor patio is partially covered and leads to a covered, outdoor hot tub overlooking a yard large enough to add a pool. The bulk head and boathouse had major renovations competed between 2013 and 2015. The floating, movable stairs allow for easy access into the water even as the lake level fluctuates. A submersible picnic table makes for a perfect swim up bar! The lake is beckoning you to come and play!!
