Soaring 10-foot ceilings lend much of the main level a remarkable sense of light and openness, with even taller ceilings in the kitchen and family room. The magnificent great room rises a breathtaking 19 feet beneath an intricately coffered ceiling, its walls of windows and French doors drawing the beauty of the surroundings indoors.

The beautifully appointed kitchen pairs extensive cabinetry with granite countertops and generous room for gathering, while a versatile loft offers another welcoming place to unwind. Throughout, timeless elegance feels as comfortable as it is impressive.An extraordinary lakeside addition reveals one of the estate's most captivating features: a spectacular heated indoor saltwater pool surrounded by expansive windows overlooking Branson Lake.
