Tucked inside Opelika city limits yet surrounded by a quiet, rural feel, Lot A at Whippoorwill Lakes offers the rare chance to build a fully custom lake-view home on 3 acres just minutes from town. Located off Highway 431, about 3 miles past Opelika High School, this setting gives you space, privacy, beautiful water views, and the ease of city convenience without the upkeep of shoreline ownership. This planned 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath home offers approximately 3,267 square feet and is designed for comfortable everyday living, hosting, and multi-generational flexibility. The open kitchen and living area are filled with natural light and flow beautifully to a covered back porch overlooking the lake. The main-level primary suite, guest suite, and upstairs bedrooms are all designed to take advantage of the view. One of the standout features is the handicap-accessible mother-in-law suite on the main level, complete with its own full kitchen, living space, interior access, and private exterior entrance. Upstairs offers a Jack-and-Jill layout, while the bedroom above the detached garage includes a full bath, closet, and kitchenette potential, making it ideal for guests, office space, a studio, or flex space. The home also includes a detached two-car garage connected by a breezeway, plus an enclosed basement garage for additional vehicle or storage space. Concrete driveway, landscaping, sod, irrigation, and exterior lighting are included. Built by Ricky Howze with Chattahoochee Homes, this is a fully custom build opportunity with a respected builder known for quality homes throughout Alabama, including Lake Martin, Lake Harding, and Whippoorwill Lakes. Construction can begin immediately with an estimated six-month build time, and buyers may customize the plan and finishes.
