A stunning fusion of lakeside serenity and bespoke luxury, this exceptional estate offers an unparalleled living experience. Owned by the renowned science fiction author Andy Weir, this property was expertly redesigned and renovated from the ground up by award-winning architects Benvenuti & Stein and Karl Straussburger. The property sits on a private peninsula with 111 feet of pristine lakefront, one of only 14 properties with exclusive riparian rights. Inside, elegance meets modern convenience with an open floor plan, newly built unused kitchen, and a sunroom adorned with 100-year-old barn wood and heated floors. Enjoy alfresco dining on the expansive brick patio, gather around the fire pit on cool evenings, or simply take in the serene lake views from the lush, landscaped backyard, which offers plenty of space for a future pool or sport court. The floating dock provides direct access to the lake for fishing, kayaking, paddleboarding, or even winter ice skating, while a custom-built retaining wall ensures the shoreline remains intact for years to come. Every detail has been meticulously curated, from the grand foyer to the multiple custom-designed offices and luxurious en suite bedrooms, making this home the perfect retreat for those seeking beauty, comfort, and exclusivity.

Nestled on Lake Longmeadow, one of only 14 homes with exclusive riparian rights, this property uniquely features a private peninsula. The waterfront is an angler's dream, teeming with bass, bluegill, and a variety of wildlife. A US Army Corps of Engineers-installed retaining wall ensures erosion is kept at bay. The floating dock offers seamless access to the lake, leading to a brick patio perfect for soaking in the natural beauty. This area also boasts a cozy fire pit, ideal for enjoying crisp evenings outdoors. With 111 feet of lakefront access, this home is perfect for kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, and even ice-skating during winter.

Hardwood flooring flows throughout the main level, leading from a bright piano room with a fireplace to a formal dining room with seating for twelve. The main level also includes two custom-designed offices with exquisite woodwork, a powder room, an elevator serving all three floors, and a vast mudroom. The brand-new, state-of-the-art designer kitchen, complete with a butler's pantry and informal dining area, is an entertainer's delight, offering tranquil backyard views. The kitchen connects to a sunroom adorned with 100-year-old barn wood accents, heated floors, and a fireplace, opening to an impressive brick patio. The second level features five en suite bedrooms, each with premium finishes, heated bathroom floors, and generous walk-in closets. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, with a balcony offering stunning views of the backyard and lake. A private sitting room and a spiral staircase ascend to a library above the primary suite, highlighted by intricate woodwork and custom stained-glass skylights. The third level includes a safe room, full bath, and two versatile rooms currently used as an artist's studio and a film developing studio, both of which can be converted into additional bedrooms. The lower level offers a private guest suite with a full bath and kitchenette. This floor also features a temperature-controlled glass wine cellar with a dedicated tasting room, a theater with triple soundproofed walls and vintage-inspired seating, and two spacious gym rooms-one with ceilings high enough for a golf simulator, and another bathroom with a sauna.
