Alabama is known for its scenic natural beauty, from its lush green forests to its deep blue lakes. Those who love Alabama’s natural splendor should consider Alabaster as the ideal location to explore. Alabaster is a suburb of Birmingham, but it feels far from the big city lifestyle, offering acres of unspoiled natural sites that residents can explore.
Alabaster has thick forests and mountain parks that are exciting destinations for hiking, biking, birdwatching, and more. It is the ideal place to reconnect with nature and escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, and that is exactly the opportunity provided by 1998 Oakwood Drive, better known as the Double Mountain Lake Retreat.
The Double Mountain Lake Retreat is a one-of-a-kind property in the heart of Alabaster’s wilderness that has just hit the market for the first time in decades. This stunning property is a dream seasonal home for those who want to immerse themselves in Alabama’s scenery, offering private grounds for hunting, fishing, rock climbing, and more.
The Double Mountain Lake Retreat is on 70 acres of private land, the majority of which includes large hardwood and pine trees on a rolling terrain. It has a 34-acre lake filled with fish—including large bass, which are frequently caught there—and an expansive 2,400 feet of waterfront, making it a private natural paradise perfect for fishing and hiking. Mount Cheaha, Alabama’s highest peak, is visible on clear days from the property.
The gorgeous timber-frame cabin is at the center of the property, which offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,407 square feet of interior space. It has a rustic lodge-style design with wood beams and a brick base. It is set right along the water’s edge overlooking the private lake.
The interior of the cabin is stunning, with a spacious open-concept design. High, vaulted 26-foot ceilings and the many windows across the main floor fill the space with natural light.
The great room connects to the kitchen, which includes modern appliances, custom cabinetry, a breakfast bar, and ample counter space for meal prep.
The charming, cozy bedrooms are on the main level. There are two smaller bedrooms and a primary suite connecting to an outdoor deck overlooking the lake. The home’s second floor includes a large open area that could be customized as a game room, a media room, or however the new owner pleases.
In addition to being able to enjoy this property’s incredible, picturesque setting, owners can also benefit from the property’s convenience to I-65, restaurants, a golf course, the Colonial Promenade Shopping Center, and many other amenities. The property has been mostly used as a weekend retreat, but there is space to add additional housing and much more. With a listing price of $2,150,000, the Double Mountain Lake Retreat is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a private slice of Alabama’s natural beauty.
