Welcome to Luxury Waterfront Log Home Living! Nestled on the serene banks of Menantico Creek, this luxury log home stands as a testament to exceptional craftsmanship and modern comfort. Constructed on site by the acclaimed Hearthstone Homes of Tennessee, known for their unparalleled expertise in log home construction, this residence is built primarily from kiln dried 6x14 logs reinforced with steel bars every six feet, showcasing an unprecedented level of engineering. With 3 bedrooms (easily converted back to its original 4) and 3 full bathrooms (1 in the detached garage), this home offers an inviting blend of rustic elegance and contemporary amenities. As you approach the property, you are welcomed by a charming front porch spanning the entire front of the home. Upon entering, you are greeted by a grand living room with soaring 20-foot high ceilings with plenty of windows pouring in natural light. The living room is centered by a striking custom stone fireplace, also built on site. The heart pine wood flooring, recently refinished with tongue oil, adds to the home's rustic charm. Radiant floor heating and superior insulation ensure comfort throughout the winter months. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring high-end Viking appliances, including a range, hood, and trash compactor, as well as a Subzero refrigerator and integrated refrigerator drawers within the island. Slate tile countertops and a unique grill fireplace add to the kitchen's distinctive character. Adjacent to the kitchen is a fully equipped laundry area with slate tile flooring and ample counter space. The main level also includes two spacious bedrooms and a full hallway bathroom. The expansive full basement offers ample storage and potential for future finished living space. It houses a full-size sensory deprivation tank for a truly immersive, meditative experience. The back part of the basement is a large storage area with a bilco door. In this section you will find most of the home's utility systems, including a brand new gas hot water heater (6mos) and furnace (< 12mos). Downstairs you will also find the state of the art water treatment system, tested for potability annually. The HVAC units (2 zones) are 2 and 5 years old respectively. The roof is 3 years old and features 50-year triple ply asphalt shingles. Ascending to the upper level of the home, you will find a luxurious primary suite, transformed from two bedrooms previously into a spacious private retreat. This suite features a large walk-in closet, a primary bath with tumbled marble, a walk-in shower, double sinks, a freestanding soaking tub, and a laundry chute for convenience. The primary bedroom space offers spectacular views of the water from a private sitting area, and is complete with its own gas fireplace. Outside, the property includes 210 feet of pristine water frontage, with a 30x4 fixed pier, a 15x3 ramp, a 4x10 floating dock, and a 4x12 EZ port watercraft lift. This waterfront access offers unparalleled opportunities for boating, fishing, and birdwatching in complete privacy that are not possible anywhere else. Moreover, the detached 42x23.1 (970 sqft) garage features tall ceilings for large vehicles, epoxy flooring, a full kitchen, bathroom, washer/dryer, and its own alarm system. The upper level, previously used as a gym and office, boasts a full-size indoor endless swimming pool, perfect for year-round fitness enthusiasts. Enhancing the home's modern efficiency, a state-of-the-art solar array, now in the 11th year of a 15-year lease with an option to purchase, significantly reduces energy costs. This home is more than just a residence; it is an extraordinary lifestyle experience. The combination of high-end features, exceptional craftsmanship, and tranquil surroundings make this property truly unique to the region. Immerse yourself in the luxurious, rustic elegance of this exceptional home on Menantico Creek — a sanctuary of peace and sophistication in Southern New Jersey.
