Large Log Retreat on Private Lake with Boats Included! in Fife Lake

This 3500 square foot, custom built log home is fabulous!  It will knock your socks off, as it did mine.  Three fieldstone fireplaces, a full built-in bar (with a tap and kegerator), huge screened in porch, the cozy classy ambiance and warm inviting feeling, along with the soft music that plays throughout the home will bring you.......and and you'll never want to leave.  

Located on 160 private acres, it has a private "gated" drive to the home, and sits on a private natural spring lake (with only two other homes on it......in which one of those is also ours!).  Enjoy your own dock with a pontoon boat, paddle boat, canoe, 2 kayaks, fishing boat and swimming raft!  Terrific pan fishing and swimming.

This is a fabulous place for a large family, reunion or corporate retreat!

Interior:

Hardwood floors throughout the home, two living rooms on the main floor...EACH has a custom built fieldstone fireplace.  The main floor also has a galley kitchen, seperate dining area with plenty of seating as well as a built in bar for entertaining, and a bath room (linens are provided for your convenience).  There is an open loft off of the main living room with a private bedroom that houses a full size bed...you'll fight over this one!  A twin bed sits in the living room as well that could be used for sleeping, or napping during the day.  Another bedroom with a full size bed also awaits you, along with the views of the lake.  Large oak doors open into a nice size sitting room with views of the lake, and another set of doors open into a large screened in porch.

Take the oak spiral staircase upstairs, while viewing the unique wall hangings, to another floor of suprises.  Straight ahead you'll see a large bathroom with a claw foot tub!  You'll also find three additional bedrooms.  The master bedroom houses a new king size bed, a fieldstone fireplace and a private balcony.  Another bedroom houses 2 full size beds and a private balcony overlooking the lake.  The other bedroom has a twin/full bunk bed, as well as another twin bed in it....great for kids!

Exterior:

This retreat sits on 160 acres of private land with plenty of wild life (so be careful driving).  The property sits on a private 25 acre lake called Downs Lake.  This is a natural spring lake that is as pure as they come!  Great swimming off of the swim raft, and fabulous fishing with one of the many boats included with this rental.

Other exterior features include a large fire pit with numerous chairs for seating, a swing to view the natural beauty of the lake, a gas grill and large long tables for outdoor dining or for the use of an outdoor conference area.
