This Lake Cypress Springs Home Proves Lake Houses Aren’t Just for Summertime

Tis the season, y’all. That time of year when our thoughts turn to lake life. Wakeboarding, fishing, swimming, sunset boat rides … Wait, whoa. Scratch that. Maybe December 2 isn’t the best day to catch someone thinking about lake life. Hmmm, let’s start over.

Tis the season, y’all. That time of year when our thoughts turn to lake life. Roaring fires by the water, roasting marshmallows over the fire pit, long walks in the fallen leaves, sunset boat rides. There — much better! You see, if you think about it, lake life really can be year-round. Especially when 206 Dogwood Point is the place you’re thinking.

This three-level Lake Cypress Springs luxury listing on a double lot just came on the market through Wendy Lynn Rogers of Ebby Halliday Realtors’ Tyler office.

“This home would make someone the perfect Christmas present,” Wendy Lynn says. “It’s the gift that keeps on giving, if you will, with its unsurpassed beauty, tranquil, secluded setting, breathtaking daily sunsets and panoramic lake views. Lake living is at its finest when rustic elegance meets lakeside luxury, and it goes by the name of Frogs Lakehouse.”

To get to the 2.78 acres of prime waterfront real estate in Winnsboro, you have to embark on a scenic drive through Timber Creek Ranch. The accompanying feeling of wonder comes from being in a real-life postcard, minus the cheesy quotes.

After navigating the twists and turns, you arrive at the gated entrance of the Community of Lands End where you’ll find Frogs Lakehouse and everything it entails. Everything, in this case, is A LOT!

Inside the 4,685-square-foot masterpiece are five bedrooms (including a main-floor primary suite and lower-level bunk room) and 4.1 baths. Crafted in 2003 from Satterwhite logs, its custom features and upgrades are as abundant as tales of ‘the one that got away’ overheard at the local diner

Inside, its lodge-y feel — natural wood walls, rustic beams, designer chandeliers, an Aztec stair runner — makes you wonder if the Grand Canyon Lodge has a distant cousin in East Texas.

A vaulted wall of windows with breathtaking views of the lake from every angle makes an IMAX theater showing the same, look like it’s just not trying. The open-concept kitchen, dining and great room are anchored by a stone fireplace that’s larger than life, and multiple French doors lead to a wrap-around deck — your new favorite spot for contemplating the meaning of life with your beverage of choice. Want a little more privacy? There’s also an additional patio for a front-row seat to every breathtaking sunset God can come up with.

Down below, delightful flagstone pathways stem from the deck, leading you to outdoor spaces so incredible they make garden gnomes jealous.

To the pool/spa first, perhaps? Let’s gooooooo! It comes complete with an outdoor kitchen that just might put your indoor one to shame. The granite countertops, sink, beverage drawers and Green Egg will def come in handy for big crowds on holiday weekends.

Or maybe it’s hot cocoa and s’mores time around the large fire pit for the kids and their friends?

Just don’t forget the three-stall boathouse — like you could! It also awaits with decks for lounging, dining, fishing, and, of course, TV, because you can’t escape screens even in the great outdoors.

Think that’s it? Hold onto your deck chairs, because after a day in, on or around the lake, you’re going to need a movie night to truly wind down. Head up to the media room, where the only drama comes with getting everyone to agree between a rom-com or action flick.

After reading all that, we must ask: now are you thinking “lake life” on December 2?
