Description

Tucked along the shores of beautiful Lake Milo just minutes from Yarmouth, this extraordinary lakefront retreat feels less like a home and more like a living work of art. Designed to inspire creativity, reflection, and connection with nature, the property unfolds across three thoughtfully designed levels, each offering its own unique atmosphere and purpose. The main living level is bathed in natural light, with vaulted ceilings, and clerestory windows that draw the outdoors in while creating a warm and uplifting energy throughout the space. An open concept dining, and living area flow effortlessly together, while elevated lake views and direct access to the deck create the perfect backdrop for morning coffee, evening wine, or quiet moments of inspiration. A kitchen, bedroom and full bath complete this level. Below, the middle floor offers a cozy den centered around a wood stove — an intimate hideaway that feels worlds away from the pace of everyday life. Whether used as a reading nook, creative studio, writing retreat, or simply a sanctuary to unwind, this level radiates comfort and calm. The ground level opens into a dramatic great room with floor-to-ceiling windows that blur the line between indoors and out. With ground-level lake access, an additional bedroom, full bath, and kitchenette area, this space lends itself beautifully to guest accommodations, extended family, or potential rental opportunities. Lake Milo offers swimming, boating, and fishing, right at your doorstep, while the surrounding natural setting provides an ever-changing canvas through every season. A rare opportunity for artists, dreamers, nature lovers, or anyone searching for a home with soul.
