Huge luxury waterfront home with private pool and spa on Virginia's largest lake, Buggs Island/Kerr Lake (50,000 acres of water and 800 miles of shoreline). Only 60+ minutes commute to Raleigh-Durham, NC, and 90 min. to Richmond, VA. Level walk to large dock and stunning sunset views. Enjoy relaxing by the pool or in 1 of 2 outdoor hottubs, or just boat all day. This lake has no boating restrictions for watercraft but is not busy or noisy. Boat for miles seeing few other boaters, just mostly tree studded shoreline. Army Corps of Engineers has kept many areas of the lake for wildlife and beauty and it has a very undeveloped look. Enjoy the small quaint town with it's shops, restaurants, and numerous antique and collectible stores, and the bed and bath outlet. Clarksville is the only town directly on this huge lake. Taxes are very low here and weather is mild. There is a golf course just a short distance outside the subdivision. This house is inside a large, quiet, wooded beautiful subdivision with many miles of paved roads for bike riding and walking. There are parks, a playground, tennis courts, walking trails, and a community dock. There is a private seldom used private airstrip nearby within the subdivision if you want to arrive by small plane. The original portion of the house was built around 1974, but in the late 1990's, it was completely gutted and renovated, and 2 large new additions were added, including a second story. The majority of the home is newer construction and the home overall, looks and functions as a newer house. This is a custom builder's private residence. The lot is typical by lake lot size standards but has several forever wild unbuildable acres on one side, making the land feel large and private. The house is a large two story home with numerous bedrooms and baths, many large gathering rooms, and two kitchens. Every bedroom has it's own bath. Two of the master suites are huge. Finishes are top of the line. Hardwood and tile floors, 3 fireplaces (2 with stone facades), walls of glass, fancy moldings and wainscottings, several jetted tubs, 7 skylights, chefs kitchen with granite counters, maple cabinets and stainless steel appliances, lofts, open to below spaces, cathedral ceilings, etc. Nearly every room has a lake view and a porch, deck, balcony or patio. There is stone on the foundation, chimney, and fencing. The private in-ground pool and 2 outdoor hottubs are fabulous. The back yard is quiet and hosts deer, squirrels, birds, ducks, and eagles. The sunset views are hard to believe. Short, level walk to the shore and huge private dock. This area is a good investment. For years it remained Virginia's best kept secret, but since retirees and second home buyers have started discovering the area, lake prices have gone up monthly over the past 2 years. You used to be able to buy a typical vacant lake lot 5-10 years ago for $50-75,000. Now, similar lots sell for $250-400,000. Prices may go even higher, but are still a bargain compared to the ocean, crowded Smith Mountain Lake, Lake Gaston or Lake Anna. You get alot for your money here. In some waterfront areas of the middle eastern seaboard, a million bucks only gets you the land. There is great fishing here with several tournaments per year. People sail, water ski, etc. And it is a small not overcrowded town where you can breath, but not so small that you don't have stores, doctors, restaurants, etc.
