491 Sandy Lake Ln

Tucked away in the gated Northshore community on the shores of Lake Nottely, this custom-built lodge spans nearly 4,300 square feet of thoughtfully designed space. Set on 3.67 acres with sweeping views of the lake and Blue Ridge Mountains, the home has only had two owners and has been meticulously cared for since its construction. Inside, soaring cathedral ceilings and massive windows frame serene mountain and lake views. From custom antler chandeliers and drawer pulls to intricately carved designs and wrought iron accents, every handcrafted walnut finish adds to the home's elevated rustic elegance. The open-concept main level centers around a striking Tulikivi soapstone fireplace, and the chef's kitchen is appointed with leathered granite countertops and top-tier appliances. The main-level primary suite offers a spa-like retreat with a luxurious en-suite bath featuring a dual vanity, custom sitting bench, and an oversized walk-in closet. Thoughtfully designed for comfort and privacy, it's the perfect space to unwind and recharge. Downstairs, the fully finished basement invites relaxation and fun, featuring a media/game room, wet bar, pool table, and poker table—perfect for entertaining guests or future renters. The outdoor living spaces are just as impressive. The main deck offers an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, creating a cozy ambiance year-round. The second deck is home to a built-in hot tub, positioned perfectly to soak in the mountain air. A large firepit and private boat slip complete the lakeside experience, offering direct access to over 220 feet of shoreline. While never used as a rental, this property is ideally suited for short-term rental income. Located in a community that permits STRs with minimal restrictions, its layout, amenities, and furnishings make it a turnkey opportunity. Whether you're seeking a luxury full-time residence, vacation home, or future income generator, this lakeside lodge delivers on every front.
