Property Description
This newly completed custom home (2024) on Cavanaugh Lake, captures something that is exceptionally difficult to replicate--over 140 feet of frontage, panoramic lake views from every room, and a level of scale and versatility rarely found on the water. From the moment you enter, a full wall of glass draws you directly to the lake. The elevated setting provides a sweeping vantage point--expansive, unobstructed, and constantly shifting with the light, culminating each evening in vivid, colorful sunsets reflected across the water. The main level spans over 3,600 square feet, designed for both effortless daily living and elevated entertaining. The kitchen and great room flow seamlessly, anchored by a fireplace and framed by the view. A walk-in butler's pantry with additional sink enhances functionality, while a private office offers a quiet, dedicated workspace. Positioned above the entry, the open loft overlooks the great room and frames views of both the lake and front of the home.

Supplements
Currently used as an artist studio, it offers a flexible space equally suited for a library, lounge, or creative retreat.
The primary suite is positioned to fully embrace the setting, complete with a generous bath, walk-in closet, and its own washer and dryer--creating a true private retreat within the home.
Outdoor living is equally intentional, offering multiple distinct spaces to take in the lake. An expansive covered patio extends directly from the great room, creating a natural gathering space. In addition, a large composite deck and lower-level patio provide even more options for entertaining or quiet moments, all leading down to the dock--perfect for ending the day lakeside as the sun sets in striking color.
The lower level adds over 2,600 square feet of living space, including three bedrooms, a theater room, second fireplace, expansive gathering area, kitchenette, and extensive storage for all your lake essentials.
And just when you think this property can't get any better, a feature that truly sets this property apart: a separate, fully self-sufficient living space connected by a glass breezeway. Complete with two bedrooms, full bath, full kitchen, and living area, it offers exceptional flexibility for extended stays, multi-generational living, or hosting at a level that is rarely accommodated in lakefront homes.
With 6 bedrooms, 5 full baths, and a setting that delivers both privacy and presence, every space--from the covered patio to the private dock--is designed to take full advantage of the water and the unforgettable sunsets that define it.
This is not simply a lake home--it is a rare opportunity to own one of the most thoughtfully designed and positioned properties on Cavanaugh Lake.
