Welcome to a rare opportunity in Lakota, an exclusive, sold-out gated enclave of just 15 homesites where privacy, nature, and modern convenience come together effortlessly. Ideally located near Jonesville, you are just minutes from shopping, dining, and everyday essentials, yet tucked away on nearly three wooded acres where deer and turkeys are part of your daily backdrop. This brand-new custom-built residence offers 2,898 square feet of heated and cooled living space, with 4,248 total square feet under roof, and is thoughtfully designed for both everyday ease and elevated entertaining. The curb appeal makes an immediate impression with a travertine walkway, welcoming front porch, cedar-wrapped columns, and a cedar tongue-and-groove ceiling. Step inside through a Pella front door into a stunning paneled foyer with soaring ceilings and statement lighting. Just off the entry, a flexible room with a closet offers incredible versatility—perfect as a fifth bedroom, office, formal dining space, sitting room, or even a private speakeasy-style retreat. The layout flows effortlessly, with a mudroom located off the side-entry garage and a half bath positioned nearby, ideal for future pool access. A spacious walk-in pantry is conveniently placed for unloading groceries, while a private guest wing or second primary suite features its own walk-in closet and ensuite bath for comfort and privacy. At the center of the home, the kitchen is designed to impress with upgraded Thermador appliances, custom solid wood cabinetry throughout, and thoughtful design details including reeded glass accents, illuminated cabinetry, and toe-kick lighting. A dedicated beverage nook or wine bar with sink and bar refrigerator adds another layer of functionality and style. The adjacent summer kitchen, complete with a pass-through window, creates a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience perfect for entertaining. Architectural character continues with vaulted, beamed ceilings and elevated finishes throughout, including champagne gold plumbing fixtures and all Pella windows and doors. Built with performance and efficiency in mind, the home features 2x6 exterior walls, spray foam insulation, two HVAC systems, and two gas water heaters. Additional upgrades include a built-in internal vacuum system with hide-a-hose, prewiring for sound, security, and a centralized media closet, as well as a Generac generator switch already prepped and ready. The garage is equally well-appointed with a utility sink for added convenience. Outdoor living is just as thoughtfully designed, with a fully equipped summer kitchen including a grill, burner, and refrigerator, creating the perfect setting for year-round gatherings. Lakota offers the flexibility of estate-style living with the ability to accommodate RVs, boats, and barns, subject to design guidelines outlined in the covenants and restrictions.
