About this home

Public remarks 500+ Feet of Jackson Lake Shoreline Brand-New Covered Dock Private Guest Suite with Separate Entrance Over 500 feet of Jackson Lake shoreline. A brand-new covered dock with a boat lift and a floating slip for two jet skis. Southern exposure that fills nearly every room with light from morning to late afternoon. Built in 2023 at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac on just under two acres in Newton County, 451 Mayo Road offers 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and it was designed with the water as the main event. Floor-to-ceiling doors and windows run the length of the back of the home, so the lake is in view the moment you walk in. A double-sided fireplace warms both the living room and the kitchen, where an upgraded butcher block island anchors the space. The dining area is wrapped in windows. The primary suite is on the main level with a stone shower, and a half bath serves the main floor. Upstairs are two more bedrooms and a full bath. Above the oversized two-car garage, a private studio suite with a kitchenette and a full bath has its own entrance, separate from the main house. Guests can come and go on their own schedule while you keep yours. Outside, the new dock is built for whole days on the water. The boat slip with lift and the floating jet ski pad that sits under a full roof, alongside a covered seating area with a ceiling fan for shade on hot afternoons. The large open deck is perfect for fishing, sunning, or launching a kayak, and upgraded using Trex decking materials. An established riprap seawall protects the shoreline. The lakeside porch gives you both sun and shade. French doors step out from the house onto the open section, made for soaking up the sun, while the covered section has a vaulted ceiling, a large ceiling fan, and manual sunshades, perfect for dinners overlooking the water. From here you'll catch fish jumping and regular visits from blue herons, ospreys, and owls, plus the occasional bald eagle. Tucked off the driveway among the trees, a separate storage building with a sliding barn door entrance gives the lake gear a home of its own. Fishing poles, tubes, skis, and life jackets have their place, along with the lawn equipment, leaving the garage free for cars. A camera security system you can monitor and activate remotely means you can check on the property from anywhere, a real advantage for a second home. Come see the late afternoon sun on the water for yourself.
