About 944 S Shore Drive
This exceptional Indiana estate at Lake Maxinkuckee offers timeless architectural elegance with lifestyle amenities across two connected parcels. Totaling over 35,000 finished square feet across multiple custom structures with 250 feet of lake frontage, and the largest private dock on the lake (4,000 square feet), this property boasts entertaining, wellness, and recreation spaces. The European-inspired main residence features nearly 14,000 square feet of elegant living space with timber-framed ceilings, hand-painted details, and abundant windows with expansive lake views. There are 8 bedrooms, 10 full plus 2 half bathrooms, and 4 fireplaces across 4 levels (with partial elevator access), including the rare walkout lower level. The home balances grand entertaining spaces with intimate screened sleeping porches and private quarters, creating a true retreat for family and friends. The adjacent indoor pool house provides year-round swimming and has motorized retractable lake-facing doors for true indoor/outdoor living, plus a hot tub, heated paver pool deck, fireplace lounge area, live plant wall, steam room, and fitness areas. The charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath guest house offers comfortable, private accommodations. The 8-car garage is ideal for vehicle storage, toys and recreational equipment. Extensive outdoor living spaces include a firepit, sand volleyball court, dining terrace and expansive patios perfect for relaxing or hosting visitors lakeside. A thoughtfully designed entertainment complex with Creston smart automation includes a professional-grade 4-lane bowling alley, arcade, shooting range, and club-style bar, offering versatile options for leisure and gatherings. A discreet underground tunnel connects the two parcels, housing mechanicals away from the main residence to preserve the peaceful lakefront environment. This rare compound represents the ultimate in Midwest lake living, blending luxury, scale, and lifestyle in an iconic setting.
