Lake Home For Sale

Welcome to Your Dream Lakeside Retreat - a breathtaking, newly renovated, luxury farmhouse, nestled on nearly 2 acres with income-producing short-term rental cabins. The 2576 sqft main home seamlessly blends contemporary sophistication with timeless rustic charm. The iconic, Murt's Lodge storefront, operating from 1954-1998, was thoughtfully redesigned to create the current open-concept floor plan residence with expansive windows, and natural light to create an airy and inviting atmosphere. Every detail has been meticulously curated, from the unique vintage doors in each room, and stunning flooring throughout, to the custom finishes and fixtures that make this a one-of-a-kind home for your next lifestyle - the perfect sanctuary for those seeking tranquility and elegance.

The primary residence boasts two generously sized bedrooms, including a sumptuous master suite with a private shower, walk-in closet, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a free-standing soaking tub, as well as another half bath for guests. Enjoy cozy evenings nestled by the stone fireplace for game nights in the primary residence, while visitors can escape to their detached guest quarters when it is time to retire.

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque countryside, this exquisite property offers 3 additional buildings, including 3 cabin units with 544 and 680 sqft each, and a third building that was originally envisioned to be the owners' suite. Two of the cabins are active, income-producing vacation rentals, with the opportunity to rent out the third that the owners have used as a personal art studio. Each of the three one-bedroom studio-style cabins has its' own kitchenette, bathroom, and outdoor entertaining space, perfect to also be used as guest housing for visitors. The 1675 sqft, three-story, rear building has an attached garage and is currently being used for storage, but could be finished out as another residence, or another income-producing unit such as a true Texas icehouse!

The property backs up directly to the Corps of Engineers land around Lake Whitney, and has two fenced yard areas, plus a serene coy fish pond, greenhouse, and an expansive deck area for entertaining while you look out on nightly visits from deer. Walking distance to the boat ramps at Walling Bend Park and a short distance to Whitney Ridge Marina for summertime fun, only 40 minutes outside Waco, and just over an hour to DFW. The lakeside Red Canoe Lodge at 1050 FM 2841 offers a Lifestyle unlike any other escape, while close enough to convenience and comforts. /
