Where thoughtful design, custom craftsmanship, and true lakefront living come together effortlessly. Set on a private, wooded ~1.5-acre waterfront homesite framed by tall pines in the gated Paradise Harbor community on Lake Rhodhiss, this 2026 new-construction modern farmhouse showcases sea-glass blue-green board-and-batten and lap siding with white trim, a stone base, dark architectural shingle roof, and barn-style light fixtures, with a welcoming covered entry. Enjoy direct water access: a 6-ft-wide concrete path winds through the trees from the home down to the lakeshore easily traveled by golf cart or electric vehicle and a private dock is permitted, will be installed by the builder in late October 2026, and conveys with the home. Inside, a light-filled two-story great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace. Ten-foot main-level ceilings, engineered hardwood, and decorative wood beams add warmth and elevated style throughout. The open chef's kitchen is a showstopper quartz waterfall island, walk-in pantry, gas range, a luxury GE Caf appliance package in matte white, and a wet bar with wine/beverage cooler and the kitchen, dining area, great room, and primary suite all enjoy beautiful lake views, as does the screened rear porch. A delightful surprise in the main-level living area: a whimsical built-in, house-shaped nook with interior lighting versatile as a cozy pet nook, a children's toy nook, or a playful hideaway. The main level centers on a private owner's suite overlooking the lake a spa-inspired retreat with soaking tub, walk-in shower, private water closet, and a generous walk-in closet. Also on the main: a dedicated study/office, mud room, full guest bath, and a laundry room with a built-in pet shower.
