SR31 Lake Cherokee $1,275,000

Lake Home For Sale

Welcome to your dream retreat on the best private lake in Texas — Lake Cherokee.

With a laid-back Southern coastal cottage vibe and an unbeatable location next to Bikini Island, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home was designed for lake days, long weekends, and unforgettable memories.

Originally built in 2017 as the ultimate weekender, the home was thoughtfully expanded in 2020 with a substantial addition—transforming it into a spacious 3,785-square-foot retreat while keeping its relaxed, easygoing charm.

Set on a beautifully landscaped 1.07-acre lot, the curb appeal is timeless. Classic board-and-batten siding, warm brick accents, and a coastal-inspired palette create a polished yet low-maintenance exterior. Mature shade trees make summer afternoons not just bearable, but enjoyable. (You’ll thank me in July.)

Inside, every space was designed with comfort and connection in mind. The kitchen is intentionally efficient yet highly functional, featuring granite countertops, double ovens, generous cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in pantry just steps away. It’s perfectly equipped for effortless lake weekends, without pulling you away from what you’re really here for. After all… who comes to the lake to spend all day cooking?

The living room anchors the home with warmth and breathtaking views, highlighted by expansive picture windows dressed in motorized shades. Just beyond, the sitting and dining area centers around a cozy wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect space to gather, unwind, and linger long after sunset.

The main floor offers two charming guest bedrooms, a full guest bath, a combined laundry and powder bath, and a true primary retreat. The primary suite opens through French doors to a screened porch featuring a queen-size hanging daybed, arguably the best nap spot on Lake Cherokee. Every bedroom includes walk-in closets with built-ins, because storage should never be an afterthought.

Upstairs, the oversized bunk room steals the show with built-in twin over queen bunk and ample storage, perfect for guests, kids, or a full lake crew. An additional guest bedroom connects via a Jack & Jill bath, and both upstairs rooms feature finished attic storage for all the extras that come with lake life.

Step outside and the magic continues. The private two-stall boathouse is ready for action, with front-row views of the legendary Firecracker Island fireworks show. The detached 3-car garage is heated and cooled, with the third bay prepped for an office, gym, or creative escape. Even the driveway was thoughtfully designed with a large motorcourt with no tricky maneuvering after a full day on the water.

This is the perfect blend of relaxed lake living and laid-back luxury. A beautiful home that started as a weekender and evolved into something much more!
