Set amidst two acres of extraordinary natural beauty along the shores of Lake Waccamaw, this custom-built brick estate offers a rare combination of privacy, timeless architecture, and waterfront living. Thoughtfully designed to embrace its remarkable surroundings, the property provides an inviting retreat and an enduring setting for generations to gather. Beyond the gated entrance, a circular drive leads to the stately residence, elevated among mature cedar and live oak trees draped in Spanish moss. The setting is both private and serene, offering a sense of quiet distinction that is increasingly difficult to find. Encompassing more than 4,300 square feet, the residence reflects thoughtful design, with spaces that serve distinct purposes while flowing naturally into the home's gathering areas. Beautiful hardwood floors and timeless architectural details establish a warm, enduring character throughout. The main living level features a well-appointed primary suite with a spacious bath, a generously proportioned kitchen with an expansive center island and separate dining area, a custom library with built-in bookshelves, and an impressive great room equally suited to intimate evenings and larger gatherings. The upper level offers three additional bedrooms, a secondary living area, and a dedicated fitness room. Above the three-car garage, a spacious private apartment with a full bath provides flexibility for extended family, guests, or independent accommodations. The outdoor spaces are equally inviting. A wraparound rear porch offers a peaceful vantage point for afternoon sunsets, while covered outdoor living areas and a generous patio provide beautiful settings for entertaining or simply enjoying the surrounding landscape. Beyond the residence, the waterfront unfolds as a destination of its own. A private dock extends through the wetlands toward a boathouse and gazebo, creating a picturesque connection to the lake. Complete with a boat lift and generous docking space, these amenities offer an exceptional opportunity to embrace the boating and recreational lifestyle that makes Lake Waccamaw so special. Spanning approximately 15 square miles, Lake Waccamaw offers an idyllic setting for boating, fishing, and outdoor recreation. Despite its peaceful atmosphere, the property remains within convenient reach of Wilmington (approximately 40 miles), Fayetteville (60 miles), Raleigh (120 miles), and Charlotte (160 miles). Few properties capture the character and natural beauty of Lake Waccamaw quite like this one. Offering a remarkable balance of privacy, gracious living, and connection to the water, this estate is a place to experience and appreciate the very best of lakeside living.
