Property Description
A Timeless Waterfront Estate of Historic Distinction Van Fleet Estates | Lake Arietta Set within the gates of Van Fleet Estates, a private and distinguished waterfront enclave, this architecturally significant lakefront estate embodies the elegance, permanence, and craftsmanship of a bygone era. Gracefully positioned along the shores of Lake Arietta, the residence offers 8,128 square feet of stately living space across an extraordinary 2.31-acre estate grounds , inclusive of an adjacent .43-acre parcel, delivering a rare 300 feet of pristine water frontage. Inspired by Old World estate architecture, the home is masterfully arranged around a formal central courtyard—a defining element of historic European villas and grand American manor homes. The design evokes a sense of heritage and arrival, with timeless proportions, classical symmetry. The estate comprises six distinguished bedroom suites, six refined baths, and an elegant powder room. Grand living spaces are bathed in natural light, with expansive lake views framing the serene beauty of Lake Arietta and reinforcing the home’s historic character. Beyond the interiors, the grounds unfold like a private lakeside manor. A private dock with a 6,500-pound–capacity boat lift extends gracefully into Lake Arietta, offering effortless access to the water for boating, fishing, and sunset cruises.
