Large Luxury Lakefront Family Retreat | Log Home with Private Boat Ramp, Dock, Theater, and Dock on Smith Lake

Escape to a luxury lakefront log home designed for family vacations, boating weekends, and group getaways on Smith Lake. With a private gated-community boat ramp just a few hundred yards away, a two-slip private dock, boat and jet ski lifts, theater room, pool table, chef-ready kitchen, and sunset lake views, this home makes it easy for large families to enjoy the lake without fighting for public boat access.

Highlights:

- Private Boat Access: A private gated-community boat ramp is just a few hundred yards from the home, making arrival, launching, and lake days much easier than relying on limited public boat ramps.

- Private Dock: Enjoy a two-slip dock with swim platform, 5,000 lb ski boat lift, and a second 5,000 lb lift configured for up to four jet skis.

- Grand Gathering Spaces: The main-level great room features soaring vaulted ceilings, antler chandeliers, a cozy stone fireplace, a 65" flat-screen TV, and four large picture windows framing breathtaking sunset views of the lake.

- Private Lakeview Bedrooms: Four private bedrooms offer beautiful lake views and en-suite bathrooms complete with antique clawfoot tubs and classic washbasins — blending charm and comfort.

- Kid-Friendly Lower Level: The downstairs is designed with families in mind, featuring two bunk-bed bedrooms, a spacious bathroom with dual showers and sinks, and a second great room with a full-size pool table and another stone fireplace. Adjacent is a large theater room with a 14 foot projector screen, two sofas, a recliner, and plenty of beanbags for movie nights.

- Gourmet Chef’s Kitchen: Thoughtfully stocked and fully equipped, this kitchen is ready for everything from morning coffee to multi-course meals. Cook with precision using the induction stovetop and convection oven, and take advantage of an extensive collection of high-quality cookware, including cast iron, non-stick, and specialty pots and pans. A full spice rack, cooking oils, and kitchen staples are provided for your convenience. For coffee lovers, enjoy your choice of a Keurig or classic drip coffee maker. Whether you’re preparing a lakeside brunch or hosting a family feast, the large dining table seats 10 comfortably — ideal for gathering, sharing, and making memories.

- Outdoor Amenities: A propane grill is located just outside the kitchen for lakeside cookouts. Relax and dine while enjoying the tranquil lake setting.

- Tech & Connectivity: Stay connected with blazing-fast 1 GB fiber WiFi throughout the home, plus hardwired internet connections in every bedroom — ideal for remote work or streaming. An outdoor 14‑30R outlet makes overnight EV charging effortless and free.

Whether you're lounging by the fire, boating on the lake, or watching movies in the home theater, this one-of-a-kind lake house offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and outdoor fun.
Located in Houston, this vacation home is in a rural area and on the waterfront. The Lily Pond an Art Gallery & Tea Room and Crooked Creek Civil War Museum are cultural highlights, and some of the area's landmarks include Houston Historic Jail and Clarkson Covered Bridge. Jet skiing and water skiing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hunting and hiking nearby.
