Hilltop Lake Ranch offers a rare blend of natural beauty, privacy, and luxury living across 100 meticulously maintained acres. The 4,200 sq ft main home sits above a landscaped garden overlooking a 3-acre lake, creating a setting that is peaceful, inspiring, and ready to enjoy from day one. Every acre has been thoughtfully improved, and the property benefits from a conservation easement that protects its natural character while still allowing residential, recreational, and agricultural use. The main home, built in 1994 and remodeled in 2015, includes three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, an indoor heated pool with an advanced ozone–silver–copper purification system, an infrared sauna, and an outdoor shower. Warm wood flooring, refined finishes, and a lake-facing breakfast area create an inviting living environment. A 560 sq ft guest house built in 2019 provides private lakeside accommodations. Additional improvements include a 416 sq ft barn/shop, a well-kept chicken and bird coop, and a functional three-pen working area with chute. Water is a defining feature of the ranch. The 3-acre lake provides a year-round focal point for daily living and recreation, fishing, kayaking, or simply enjoying the view. Migrating waterfowl frequent the lake in winter, adding a striking seasonal element. A strong 25 GPM well reaching 300 feet deep ensures reliable water security. The land is dynamic and scenic, with roughly 60% wooded terrain and 40% open pasture. Mature hardwoods line the dry creek bed that winds through the ranch and draws abundant wildlife, including Whitetail deer, turkey, pigs, ducks, dove, and more. About 50 feet of elevation change creates rolling topography and beautiful vantage points from the homesite and lake. The manicured garden and fruit trees add charm and help attract native wildlife, making Hilltop Lake Ranch a property where every season brings something special.
