About this property

The Retreat at Big Sandy Lake

  • Escape to your own private slice of paradise on Big Sandy Lake. This stunning home sits completely alone on a unique peninsula, surrounded by water on three sides and nestled on five pristine acres of forest and shoreline — with no neighbors in sight.

    Step into a beautifully designed home that offers comfort, privacy, luxury, and nature in one unforgettable setting. Come relax on the lawn and enjoy the lakefront views, this is the kind of peace you can't find anywhere else.

    Please Note: A friendly, discreet groundskeeper lives on-site in a separate back area of the property to help maintain the grounds and ensure everything runs smoothly. He will not interfere with your stay.

Great property with a huge and well maintained yard. My family had an excellent time. Our group had four adults, six teenagers, and two dogs and found there to be plenty of space for everyone.
