Spectacular Custom Lakefront Retreat on Over 3 Acres for wonderful indoor/outdoor living! Welcome to your private oasis at The Meadows at Joe Brooke Farm—one of just 14 homes on Dover Lake, and among the few with gentle, walkable lake access leading to a brand-new dock. Custom-built by Spratley Thomas, this exceptional, high-quality home is nestled on a secluded lot surrounded by mature hardwoods and abundant wildlife. Inside you'll find breathtaking lake views through oversized Pella windows, warm refinished white oak and reclaimed pine floors, and vintage barnwood accents from a Louisiana tobacco barn, plus new carpet and fresh paint inside and out. The double-height entry opens to a living/dining room with a gas fireplace, built-in custom cabinets, 10’ ceilings, and access to a spacious rear deck. The kitchen is a chef’s dream: Sub-Zero fridge, Wolf cooktop, double wall ovens, granite counters, Bosch dishwasher, alder wood island, and custom cabinets by Trademark Woodworking, capped off with a cozy breakfast room. The adjoining great room features bay windows, a reclaimed pine vaulted ceiling and opens to a roomy screened patio with a Rumford fireplace, Viking grill, and more lake views—ideal for entertaining. The 1st-floor primary suite offers 14’ ceilings, 2 spa-like bathrooms for busy mornings, 2 large walk-in closets, and custom built-ins. A large mudroom/laundry off the kitchen has custom cubbies, sink, and a dog wash. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms with walk-in closets, with 2 baths (one ensuite, one Jack & Jill). The walkout lower level includes a huge rec room, a 5th bedroom suite with kitchenette, and a flexible space - workshop, gym or whatever you can imagine. Rounding it off is a two-car garage with a mancave and upstairs bonus room. Extras: 5 multizone HVACs, central vac, generator, high-efficiency hot water heaters, irrigation and water filtration systems, 1000-gal buried propane tank. This is luxury lakefront living at its finest—private, peaceful, yet just minutes from shopping and restaurants!
