Property Description
This is the kind of home dreams are made of. Perched 175 feet above Table Rock Lake, The Bluff House at Slane Chapel is one of the lake's most iconic residences--featuring a 25-ft cantilevered pod with unmatched panoramic views. Built in the 1960s by Lonnie C. Fritts and designed by architect Don Russell, the home was constructed using timber from a deconstructed railroad bridge. Signature details include reclaimed wood beams, a 2-inch solid oak roof, stained glass, spiral staircases, a beehive fireplace, and extensive modern upgrades. Renovations honor the home's heritage while enhancing livability--wood flooring, new synthetic slate shake shingles, beautiful stone countertops, upgraded HVAC, artisan tilework, and custom iron railings throughout the interior and exterior. Once home to Clyde the orangutan from Every Which Way But Loose, this property is rich with history and absolutely one of a kind. No matter where you sit, you'll enjoy sweeping views of the lake and Ozark Mountains. The viewing pod, brilliantly engineered without needing support, now includes two additional beams for lifetime security. The deck and pod is also made of Pia lumber, one of the strongest woods you can get all the way from South America. Need space for guests or family? A separate 3 bed, 3 bath guest home with kitchenette offers ideal accommodations for multi-generational living or in-law quarters. Your private boat slip is included, just a short ride down the road. This property can also be used as a nighty rental if you so choose! This property can't be recreated. If you've been dreaming of a one-of-a-kind lake retreat--this is it.
