Escape to this peaceful lakefront home nestled in a small cove with year-round water and immediate access to the main channel. This custom-built, lakefront home sits on over 1.5 peaceful acres, offering beautiful views, thoughtful design, and space to relax, reconnect, and recharge. Designed for comfort, entertainment, and family-friendly stays, this retreat is ideal for couples, families, and small groups.
As you enter the home, you are immediately greeted by breathtaking elevated views of Lake Wedowee, framed by the calm waters of the surrounding cove. Large windows and open living spaces bring the outdoors in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the home.
The main level features red oak floors, 10-foot ceilings, and Aspen wood doors. The open chef’s kitchen flows into a spacious living area and opens directly onto a stunning 600 sqft composite deck with wire railing—perfect for morning coffee, afternoon BBQs with the 28" Blackstone griddle, outdoor dining, and sunset views over the lake. The dining room table comfortably seats eight, there are three additional seats at the kitchen island, and an outdoor dining table for six, giving everyone plenty of space to gather and enjoy meals together. The kitchen includes a double-wall oven, a four‑burner electric cooktop, and a fully stocked kitchen (e.g., pots, pans, utensils, bakeware, dishware, glassware, coffee maker, toaster, other basic cooking essentials, etc.), so guests can confidently prepare gourmet meals during their stay.
The main-level master suite offers a private sanctuary with a Japanese soaking tub, double sinks, a walk‑in closet, and a spa‑style walk‑in shower. The terrace level includes a separate den and recreation room, two guest bedrooms, and a shared bath, with doors leading to a patio and outdoor entertaining space.
Just steps outside, a 41" firepit overlooks the quiet cove and lake. Adirondack‑style chairs have been thoughtfully arranged to encourage long conversations, laughter, and late‑night relaxation. Soft string lights add a warm glow, creating the perfect ambiance for unwinding after a day on the water. The firepit requires guest‑provided firewood, so the experience lasts as long as the firewood you bring.
Inside, enjoy a dedicated game area with a pool table, ping pong conversion table, dart board, plastic axe toss game, board games, and a karaoke system with microphones. Outside, relax on the deck, gather around the firepit, or explore the spacious yard. With over 1.5 acres of privacy, there is plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
For guests who love the water, a short walk down a small hill leads to the shoreline, where a private concrete ramp offers easy access for swimming and for launching guest‑owned kayaks and paddleboards (note: the dock seen in photos belongs to our neighbors and is not accessible to guests). The calm design of the cove also makes bank‑side fishing easy, fun, and safe for families, beginners, and kids.
Exceptional Water Quality at Lake Wedowee
One of the most remarkable features of Lake Wedowee is its exceptionally clean, clear water—widely considered among the best in Alabama. Unlike many heavily developed lakes across the state, Wedowee benefits from low industrial impact, thoughtful shoreline management, and consistent conservation efforts.
Guests often notice the difference immediately: clearer visibility, minimal debris, and fresh, inviting water that’s ideal for swimming, kayaking, fishing, and relaxing by the shore. Whether you’re floating in the cove, casting a line, or enjoying sunset views from the deck, you’ll experience a lake environment that feels peaceful, healthy, and well-preserved.
Smoke‑ & Vape‑Free Home
This residence is strictly smoke‑free and vape‑free indoors. Smoking or vaping is not permitted inside the building under any circumstances.
Built for Strength, Comfort, and Sustainability:
This home isn’t just beautiful, it was built to last. Constructed with Cementitious Insulated Composite Form (CICF) blocks, the house combines structural strength, high insulation, and fire resistance in a single, environmentally sustainable building system. Homes built with CICF use 40% less concrete and steel than traditional ICF construction and are designed to withstand hurricane‑ and tornado‑force winds. In short, you’re pretty much staying in a bunker on the lake—just a very comfortable and stylish one.
Fully-Equipped Kitchen:
The chef’s kitchen is designed for cooking and gathering, offering plenty of space and thoughtful features. It includes a double‑wall oven, a four‑burner electric cooktop, and a walk‑in pantry space stocked with all the pots, pans, and essentials needed to prepare anything from simple meals to full gourmet dinners. Whether you're cooking for two or feeding a group, the layout makes mealtime easy, comfortable, and enjoyable
Work‑Friendly Space:
Need to get a little work done during your stay? The master bedroom includes a dedicated desk with a height-adjustable workstation, giving you a comfortable spot for remote work or virtual meetings. It’s quiet, convenient, and still close enough to enjoy the peaceful lake atmosphere when you take a break.
A Retreat for Every Season:
This home offers rest and relaxation year-round. Spring brings blooming landscapes and ideal weather for kayaking and hiking. Summer is perfect for many water activities and long days on the water. Fall fills the cove with rich colors, creating a peaceful backdrop for quiet mornings on the deck. Winter offers a cozy escape, perfect for enjoying extended lake views, game nights, and quiet evenings indoors.

While there is a small access point for vehicles to reach the lake, guests should not drive beyond the fence marked with the stop sign. The shoreline area at the cove is not intended for regular vehicle use. Guests are responsible for any damage to the landscape and all associated recovery costs if vehicles are driven beyond the designated access point or down to the shoreline cove area.
On rare occasions, our neighbor’s two dogs have wandered through the property, though we haven’t seen them in weeks. The owners do not interact with them and recommend guests do the same.
