Waterfront on the world-famous Lake Fork, this Satterwhite custom log home offers a setting where the lake and the wildlife are part of everyday life. Step onto the back porch and watch deer wander through the yard, often close enough to enjoy from the porch without disturbing them. The screened and partially wraparound porch is a great place to sit and watch the lake, wildlife and changing seasons. The home is built for comfort and efficiency, with the natural insulating qualities of the log construction helping maintain a comfortable temperature through the seasons. Inside, the vaulted ceiling, large upper windows and Colorado Ash wood give the living area an open, warm feel. An Oklahoma River Rock wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room. The kitchen has plenty of cabinet space, a breakfast bar and a drop-in Jenn-Air electric cooktop. The large primary bedroom has bay windows overlooking the lake, along with a spacious ensuite bath featuring a Jacuzzi tub and his-and-her walk-in closets. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms with ensuite baths are separated by a catwalk overlooking the living room and kitchen. Outside, the waterfront is the real attraction. Fish from your private dock, enjoy the lake from the porch, or simply sit back and watch the deer move through the backyard. The dock does need some work, and the repairs can be negotiated as part of the sale. This is a place where you can enjoy Lake Fork from your own waterfront property while still having the privacy and natural setting that make a log home on the lake special.
