Midcentury design elements, low rooflines and a subdued color palette gracefully blend this incredible custom ‘cottage’ into its lakefront setting. The main house is cradled atop 118 helical piers, the height of its crawl space carefully calculated to keep the home aesthetically low to the ground while above the water table. Oversized windows and doors - one, a 20-ft bi-folding glass door custom made in Mexico - line the back of the home, providing gorgeous views of the lake, while an open floor plan integrates the kitchen, living and dining spaces. Sleeping quarters are peaceful sanctuaries here, including soundproofed master and guest suites, bunk rooms for the children, an accessory guest building, and even a quiet spot on the grounds reserved for the family’s beloved Airstream trailer. Thoughtful amenities make this home the ultimate refuge for summer vacations, including an outdoor shower, a firepit, a swinging daybed for lazy afternoons lakeside, a built-in dog kennel and even a regulation bocce ball court.

“I have been working with Scott for many years. He cares about his clients. He has a passion for quality and for good design and is continually researching building sciences.” - Jeff Visser, J. Visser Design
