Description

Located in Bainbridge Georgia on the beautiful 37,500-acre Lake Seminole is a custom-built home on 3.27 acres with 200 feet of lake frontage. Located on a quiet paved country road, this home consists of approximately 5,000 heated sq. ft. and 2,447 sq. ft. of screened porches and open deck facing the lake. With its unique position on Curry Hill, this lakefront property offers spectacular vistas of Lake Seminole and protected state wildlife management areas. This one-of-a-kind retreat provides exceptional recreational opportunities for family, friends, and clients. Renowned for its fishng, Georgia DNR ranks Lake Seminole as the best fishery in the state; the lake is also regarded as one of the top duck-hunting destinations in the southeast. The estate offers high-end luxury comforts, plentiful deck space, and separate living areas, making it perfect for entertaining family or guests.

The entrance to the property is through electric iron gates, with a 900' paved driveway winding down to a circular drive to the front door. This modern brick home with stucco entry consists of three floors with three open decks.

The main floor consists of an open concept floor plan. This floor has a private office with French doors that open onto a deck overlooking the lake, and a private half bathroom off the office also opening onto the large main deck. Hardwood floors are throughout the main level with carpet in the bedrooms and tile floors in the bathrooms. The kitchen has custom cherry cabinets, Whirlpool appliances: double oven, dishwasher, built-in microwave and cooktop with lighting under the cabinets; a custom cherry island with storage separates the great room from the kitchen. An octagonal dining area has large windows facing the lake. The great room has a brick fireplace flanked by entertainment centers with built in cabinets on each side. Open space includes entry foyer, kitchen, great room, wet bar and dining area. French doors open from each room on the main floor onto the large deck with a spectacular lake view.

From the decks, the walkway to the lake is visible. Lighted wood stringers follow the natural fall of the land to the lake. A covered dock at the end of walkway consists of two 6,000 lb. electric hoists, lighting, utility shed and fishing stations. The dock is located on one of the main river bends where the water is 8' to 9' deep.

The master suite features French doors, lake view and private screened porch. The master bath has travertine flooring, his and hers vanities, separate glass shower, jetted spa, and an oversized master closet off the bath. The master bedroom is carpeted and furnished.

The second bedroom on the main floor is private with carpet and a tiled full bath and closet. The utility room with Maytag appliances is off the hall way to this bedroom.

The lower floor suite (basement) features a large open room with cypress walls, stone fireplace and tiled floors. It has two full bedrooms, one full bath, one half-bath, a large bar, and entertainment center with big screen TV. The mantel over the fireplace and kitchen cabinets are made of hickory, and was chosen for its unique characteristics. This floor has a full kitchen, gas appliances and individual heating and cooling system with dehumidifier. Two French doors lead off the open area to a (47'X 13.5') screened porch with a 4-person Jacuzzi.

Off the big screened porch is an open area which is partially covered, a bricked-in shower with obscure glass door. A 235 sq. ft. exercise/storage room is located behind the porch and equipped with a zone system off the main HAVAC unit installed in 2022. The lake view is clear from all areas.

The third floor is a private suite with carpeted bedroom, oversized tiled bath, double vanity, jetted spa, separate shower and walk-in closet. Private balcony provides a private view to the grounds, dock and lake.

The main floor, upper suite and exercise room have zoned heating and cooling system installed in 2022. The upper suite has electric appliances. The lower suite has gas appliances. Both fireplaces have gas igniters for easy fire-starting capability. The gas source comes from a large buried storage tank. This great home has recessed lighting throughout.

Two 1,500-gallon septic tanks are on the house level; there is an underground irrigation system, landscaped yards, and a two-car garage with electric doors.

This property includes a separate cooking/game prep/entertainment area with full appliances: a well-lit game cleaning station with hoist, walk-in-cooler, lighted archery platform, storage sheds and independent 1,500-gallon septic tank.

The property is surrounded by 9,500 acres of wildlife management land with deer, turkey, duck and small game. Lake Seminole is ranked in the top 10 of the best bass fishing lakes in the United States with 37,500 acres of water. Bream, shellcracker, crappie, catfish, hybrids and striped bass are abundant. Lake Seminole is known for good duck hunting including species of wood duck, ring neck, red heads, gadwall, canvasback, teal, blue bill, buffleheads and widgeon. Over two dozen pair of bald eagles call Lake Seminole home.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of property that has it all and is in excellent shape. Built in 2005, it has never been occupied full-time, but rather served as an escape for the current landowner. A new well was installed in 2016 and the home is fully furnished.

The location is excellent; 30 minutes from Tallahassee Florida, 18 minutes from Bainbridge, Ga., 90 minutes from Panama City Beach FL., 90 minutes from Dothan Al., and 60 minutes from Indian Pass for great salt water fishing. Furnishings can be purchased excluding game mounts.
