Outdoors, the experience continues with covered seating areas, curated low-maintenance landscaping, and softly lighted pathways that guide you from the home to the water's edge, creating an inviting atmosphere both day and night. Select furnishings, including premium outdoor furnishings curated for lakefront living, are negotiable with an acceptable offer.
