Sanctuary at the Summit: A Private Lake & Mountain Retreat in Choto's Premier Gated Enclave! Tucked behind the gates of The Summit at Choto, this extraordinary residence offers a rare blend of architectural character, natural beauty, and meticulous craftsmanship. Set on nearly an acre of professionally landscaped grounds, the home commands breathtaking, year-round views of shimmering lake waters and the distant Smoky Mountain ridgeline. Spanning nearly 6,000 square feet, this 4-bedroom, 6-bath estate showcases a striking stone and brick façade, soaring 10-foot ceilings on the main level, and curated finishes throughout, including bespoke shiplap millwork, barn wood accents in the family room, and a stately professionally installed brick foyer. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen pairs herringbone wood-look flooring with crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, Bosch appliances, a designer tile backsplash, and a classic farmhouse sink. Walls of windows frame uninterrupted lake and mountain vistas, living artwork that shifts with every season. Three main-level bedrooms, one currently styled as a sophisticated home office, each feature walk-in closets and ensuite baths. The owner's suite is a true retreat, with dual vanities, an oversized double shower, a shared double walk-in closet by A Place for Everything, and sweeping views at sunrise. Upstairs, expansive guest quarters include a bonus retreat and additional sleeping space. The finished lower level is designed for entertaining and everyday flexibility. A spacious lounge flows into a custom bourbon bar with stacked-stone surround, a billiards and gaming room, and a dedicated fitness studio. The finished space offers exceptional versatility, with multiple rooms ideally suited for home office, media, hobby, or guest use. Several areas offer potential for additional bedroom configurations, subject to buyer verification of local requirements. A workshop with separate exterior access, a secure safe room, and a bath-plumbed flex area complete the level, all supported by a central dehumidification system integrated into the HVAC. The covered upper deck, finished with a tongue-and-groove wood ceiling, ceiling fan, and string lighting, is the perfect perch for taking in lake views. Below, custom under decking shelters a second lounge, while the meticulously landscaped backyard features a stone fire pit, layered plantings curated for year-round privacy, and abundant wildlife. Every detail has been considered. American Fencing on the upper level, His Security alarm system, professionally installed camera system with local hard drive and WiFi/app connectivity, custom garage shelving, batten-and-board mudroom, and a dedicated exterior generator outlet. Moments from Choto Marina and adjacent to Cheers at Choto. Serene lake living with city conveniences just minutes away. Buyer to verify all measurements.
