This stunning main channel waterfront estate home offers 210 feet of stone seawall on Lake Guntersville, a large boathouse, and sunset views. 

The 2.8 acre level lot is privately gated and completely fenced up to the lake’s edge. After driving past the beautifully landscaped front lawn, you are welcomed by the traditional architecture of the home and 5 car garages. 2 garages are attached to the home and the 3-car detached garage is heated with storage and a large unfinished attic space. 

As you pass through the main entrance and into the foyer, you are immediately greeted with lake views, as almost every room is designed to take full advantage of the waterfront location. The two-story great room, with gas fireplace and built-ins, seamlessly flows into the dining room which can easily accommodate both a casual boat day lunch or an upscale holiday gathering. The great room also opens to the lofted study and catwalk above for an airy and comfortable feel. 

The main kitchen enjoys views of both the lake and the manicured side garden with whimsical fountain. The kitchen features granite counter tops with island barstool seating, Viking gas range, double Viking ovens and warming drawer, and a coffee/buffet bar in the breakfast nook. The large main laundry room is located off the kitchen and offers additional pantry and storage space, utility sink, and an additional refrigerator. It opens to a mud room for ease of dropping wet towels and bathing suits. 

The main level master bedroom has lake views, direct patio access, coffered ceilings with bead board detailing, and a stacked stone double-sided fireplace that also opens to the keeping room. Solid wood double doors open to the travertine tiled bathroom with a jacuzzi tub, custom tile frameless walk-in shower, two sink vanity with makeup area, large walk-in closet, and second laundry.  

There are two additional first floor bedrooms that share a Jack and Jill bathroom, one with waterfront views and one with easy access to the keeping room and second chef’s kitchen. The fabulous second kitchen has a gas range, marble counters with barstool seating, two sinks, dishwasher, built-in microwave, refrigerator, oven, and casual dining area. This space can either be used as a private owner’s retreat or as a casual relaxation space for family and friends. 

Upstairs has two ensuite bedrooms including a second master with lake views and double sink vanity, as well as a vaulted ceiling playroom with gas fireplace and beautiful built-ins. The upstairs deck spans the length of the home, is wired for sound, and commands some of the best views on the property. 

The backyard is expansive and flat - perfect for summer lawn games – and offers unobstructed views of Lake Guntersville. The custom boathouse, built with Trex/Hardie plank, has 2 slips and lifts, 6 automated roll-up doors, and a kitchenette. It offers plenty of deck and lounge space and the shake exterior is designed to blend seamlessly into the overall design of the estate home. The backyard also features a stone grilling gazebo with outdoor fireplace and wet bar, including a commercial ice machine. There is also a dining pergola for warm weather alfresco meals. The mature landscaping and trees contribute significant amounts of privacy to the serene retreat. 

Located on the main channel, 1090 Buck Island Drive is conveniently located around the bend from Lake Guntersville State Park, as well as many restaurants and marinas.  It is the perfect weekend getaway or full-time residence.
