About 816 Oak Leaf Drive
A RARE PRIVATE RETREAT ON LAKE WEDOWEE. Welcome to a truly extraordinary waterfront retreat where ultimate privacy meets timeless design. Perfectly positioned on nearly 2 undisturbed acres, this remarkable estate offers an unparalleled sense of seclusion while capturing breathtaking big-water views from every room along the rear of house. Whether you are seeking an exceptional family legacy property, an entertainer’s dream, or a luxurious lake front escape, this home delivers.
From the moment you arrive, the setting takes center stage. Surrounded by nature and positioned to capture sweeping water views, the property offers a level of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find on any lake. Once you enter through the 8ft iron doors, you are greeted by generous living spaces that combine refined finishes with a relaxed sophistication perfectly suited to lake living.
Designed with elegance and function in mind, the spectacular chef's kitchen serves as the centerpiece of the home. An oversized 9-foot island anchors the space, surrounded by exquisite quartzite countertops and a dramatic full-height quartzite backsplash. A custom hood, professional 48-inch gas range and premium paneled 30-inch refrigerator (with inside camera) paired with a matching freezer, blend seamlessly into the cabinetry. A hidden door leads to the prep kitchen, ideal for a private chef, catered events, or simply to keep entertaining beautifully organized. At the other end is a sophisticated bar opening to sunroom, the perfect spot to enjoy an after-dinner drink, play games or watch the sun set. The primary suite is a private retreat of its own. A vaulted ceiling frames uninterrupted lake views while a double-sided fireplace creates warmth and ambiance between the bedroom and beautifully appointed marble bath. The primary bath exudes relaxation with soaking tub across from marble fireplace, furniture styled marble separate vanities with lighted mirrors and frameless marble shower with 2 high-powered shower heads, handheld and led lighting inside.
With effortless entertaining the goal, the home features an oversized Family room and Dining Room,, with seating for 16, highlighted by tall ceilings and magnificent lake views, along with a spacious terrace level offering a kitchenette and exceptional flexibility for entertaining, recreation and guests. A dedicated movie room is pre-wired and ready to become the ultimate home theater or golf simulator along with a fitness suite, massage room, steam shower and dedicated sauna space further enhance the home's resort-like wellness experience.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. Gather around the lakeside fire pit, relax beside the outdoor wood-burning fireplace or enjoy outdoor games in the backyard covered with soft Zoysa grass. There is a gentle sloped path to future dock location (permitted), complete with seawall and integrated stairs. The upper porch features a beautifully equipped outdoor kitchen with a 36-inch grill, burner, working sink/drink prep station, granite countertops and refrigerated drawers—creating an effortless setting for everything from quiet mornings to large summer gatherings to crisp autumn days.
With 5 bedrooms, 5.5 baths, multiple entertainment areas and sleep accommodations for up to 16+, this is a home designed to be shared—yet private enough to feel completely removed from the everyday.
