About This Home

Distinctive and tranquil living embraces you at 516 Island Lodges Drive on Lake Buchanan. Completely renovated and expanded in 2023, this retreat offers approximately 136 feet of waterfront. Upon entry, you will find over 475 square feet of flex space with a half bath and sliding glass door leading to the lake, hot tub, and patio.

Around the corner, the great room brings together living, dining, and a thoughtfully-designed kitchen with custom cabinetry, pull-out shelving, a large pantry, double ovens, microwave drawer, and induction cooktop (plumbed for gas if you prefer). Picture windows and sliding glass doors provide beautiful panoramic views of the lake and its ecosystem.

Two primary suites are in the main house: one with an oversized spa tub and separate shower, and the other with barrier-free entry shower. Both suites offer walk-in closets with built-in shelving. A utility room with built-in shelving and storage is conveniently located between the suites.

Just steps from the main house, a detached, multi-use one-bedroom casita offers its own living area with picture windows, kitchenette, and full bath perfect for rental income generation, work space, or family and guests.

The boat dock with electric lift, fish-cleaning station, and adjustable cable system allows you to take advantage of the deeper water located at the end of the peninsula.

Upgrades include a whole-home generator with a buried 500-gallon propane tank, new HVAC, new septic system, reverse-osmosis water filtration, water softening systems, adjustable lighting, and a revamped drainage system.

Island Lodges is a peninsula community made up of full- and part-time residents, many of whom have lived and/or vacationed here for multiple generations.

In a world that has become both too hectic and rapidly-changing, 516 Island Lodges Drive offers a sanctuary of serenity and the opportunity to enjoy lake life with family and friends. Join us as soon as you can!
