“The Lake House of the Year embodies everything that we love
about outdoor living,” says Rachel Hardage Barrett, Editor-in-Chief
of Country Living. “We’re excited to finally open the doors to the
public to showcase this stylish, relaxing retreat.”
The Lake House of the Year is featured in Country Living’s
July/August Water issue, on newsstands today, and will be open to
the public for tours June 26-July 9. Tickets cost $15 and are
available at the door or online
at fundraise.childrensharbor.com/LHOY. Ticket sales will
benefit Children’s Harbor on Lake Martin.
Country Living’s Water issue also kicks off Hearst for
Humanity, an innovative new social impact initiative
that connects Hearst Magazines’ audience
to charitable partners on
the CrowdRise platform to inspire change
and raise awareness for
important philanthropic organizations and causes.
The issue drives awareness for clean water initiatives through
a collaboration with The Nature Conservancy and
their Canadian affiliate TNC Canada, with actionable
tips to help protect lakes, rivers and oceans. Throughout
the pages, readers are encouraged to learn more and donate to The
Nature Conservancy at HearstForHumanity.com/CLwater. The
campaign will be supported by digital and social
content that empowers readers to make smarter
choices to protect the earth’s waterways.
The Lake House of the Year was built by Classic Homes in
collaboration with developer Russell Lands On Lake Martin and
designed by Nashville architect Jonathan Torode. The stunning
2,897-square home has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and a
screened-in porch and represents the ultimate in indoor-outdoor
living.
Fireplaces feature local stone, and mantels and beams are made
from trees harvested on the property. With its natural charm and
modern comfort, the design of the cabin provides space for family
and friends to gather both indoors and outdoors, providing the
backdrop for creating memories that can be cherished for
generations.
The classic Russell Cabins, which have only been available as
long-term rentals, served as the inspiration for the Lake House of
the Year—a rustic past blending with a modern present. Native pine
walls, floors, and ceilings maintain a cozy feel, with more
contemporary touches in the kitchens and bathrooms.
Sponsors of the 2017 Country Living Lake House of the Year
include Sleep Number, Sparkling Ice, and Universal Furniture.
