A lakeside masterpiece is for sale in the coveted Trillium development on beautiful Lake Martin. The gorgeous five-bedroom home overlooking the water also includes five full bathrooms within 4,200 square feet of living space.

The Trillium development contains about 200 homes and is located about 45 minutes northeast of the Capital City, Realtor Margie Miller said. The home was built in 2019.

“The first phase of Trillium was developed in 1987 to 1989 — then each phase developed after that until about 2000,” Miller said. “But newer homes are being sold on lots that were a presale. Several new ones are being built at this time. One lot previously sold last year for $1.2 million.”

The neighborhood is a Russell development, Miller added. “There are covenants and restrictions that protect your property that any buyer would truly appreciate,” she said. “The home sits on a large and mainly flat lot with magnificent views. The property is very private.”

Architect Mitch Ginn designed the home on a 1.2-acre lot situated on a quiet slough with expanded views of the lake, Miller said.

Inside, 5-inch solid maple hardwood floors throughout the home help establish the relaxed living atmosphere. The kitchen will delight the cooks. It features custom cabinets, quartzite countertops, high-end GE stainless appliances, a farmhouse sink, spacious walk-in pantry, and a stunning walnut wood island.

An open floor plan includes an eating nook offering a fabulous view of the lake. A large great room has a wall of windows and an 8-foot-wide masonry fireplace with herringbone firebricks.

An office off the kitchen and great room is ideal for those needing to stay in touch with the office. The main floor master suite has its own AC unit, a vaulted ceiling, large shower featuring double shower heads, custom cabinets with quartzite countertops, and a spacious master closet complete with built-ins.

The main level design provides three additional bedrooms each with their own bathroom and roomy closets. A large half bath powder room is located adjacent to the mud room and laundry room.

The layout includes an F5-rated custom solid steel storm shelter room situated under the staircase.

The upstairs design features a separate bedroom and bath, a kitchenette with a full-size refrigerator and quartzite countertops, four built-in bunk beds, and an entertainment room.  All bedrooms have blackout shades. The home is foam insulated to cut down on utility bills.

Two spaces of the four-car garage have 9-foot doors and 30-foot-deep stalls suitable for storing boats or additional watercraft.

Outside the home, the large waterside stone terrace has a huge fan to combat hot summer days. The fan sits next to an enclosed heated and cooled sunroom with a HVAC heat pump, large Pella glass sliding doors, and a second masonry fireplace with herringbone firebricks.

The property comes with its own private boat launch, an extra-large 1,600 square foot pier with two power lifted slips, and a separate floating pier. The entire dock is finished with MoistureShield CoolDeck pier decking.

The property is professionally landscaped and slopes gently toward the lake. A sprinkler system keeps the zoysia grass looking lush.

“If you are lucky enough to live on Lake Martin you will never want to leave,” Miller said. “The beautiful sunsets, sun rises, friends, yet privacy — whichever you want. Plus, the lake itself is magnificent!”

The property at 185 Trailing West is on the market for $3.45 million.
