Some properties give you a place to live. This one gives you room to breathe. Tucked within Wild Pear Shores and stretching across almost 23 acres going into the main channel of Douglas Lake, 2460 Wild Pear Trail is something remarkably difficult to find: a waterfront property where the land itself is every bit as special as the home. Approximately 3 acres of the property that surrounds the home are completely level, creating an incredible transition from home to lake. Between the whisper of the pines, filtered sunlight through the woods, open green space and the quiet pull of the lake, there is an earthy, grounded quality that will surely soothe your soul. Beyond the tall pine trees, the park-like landscape opens to reveal the breathtaking expansive waters of Douglas Lake's main channel. A 100-foot dock walkway--approximately 90 feet aluminum and 10 feet wood--leads to a 32' x 12' ShoreMaster dock on the main-channel. The dock has a four chair seating feature providing a place to rest after coming off the water. Additionally, a 20' x 20' concrete patio near the dock provides another gathering space, while the 20' x 20' custom lakeside pavilion sits off to the side within the trees. Complete with electricity, water, and a rustic outdoor shower nearby, this space creates the setting for long summer afternoons on the lake, early morning coffee or twilight dinners by the water. The European-Inspired Contemporary Ranch home compliments the land with a graceful arched brick and stone entry into a bright, open sophisticated interior. Beautiful hardwood floors, dark solid wood doors, soaring ceilings and a dramatic gas fireplace become focal points into the living room. The chef's kitchen features a generous 4 seat island, induction cooking range, smart capability refrigerator, and separate dining area, creating a space equally suited for everyday living and entertaining. The bedroom arrangement offers exceptional privacy. The serene primary suite includes a private bath, featuring a stunning tile shower, a monolithic soaking tub, two oversized vanities, and a large walk-in closet. Outside the primary bath is a large laundry room that offers ample cabinetry, a standard size sink and clothes drying area. Beyond the laundry, is a room with entry into the garage, another full bath and walk in pantry. On the opposite side of the home, there are two additional unique bedroom ensuites, each having their own full bathroom and large closet. A versatile fourth room, includes thoughtfully designed built-ins, with a Murphy-bed in between the bookshelves. This is currently a yoga studio but could be a home office, fitness space etc., with a half bath located just across the hall. Perhaps one of the home's most inviting spaces is the 27 ft x 16 ft screened porch. This is the kind of place that encourages you to sit longer than you intended--to listen to the rain, read a book, share dinner, or simply do nothing at all and just take in the view. Additional home and property features include electric-vehicle charging capability in the garage, wall mounted TV's, high speed fiber internet, beautiful rock landscaping, a compost garden key for organic gardening, handicap accessibility, and more. But specifications alone don't explain this property. It's a true feeling. This is a place to lower your shoulders and exhale. A place to reconnect--with nature, with the people you love, and maybe even with yourself. 2460 Wild Pear Trail isn't just an opportunity to live the lake life you've dreamed about. It's an opportunity to become the person you've been longing to have the time and space to be. And that may be the rarest luxury of all.
