Best Dock/Boathouse set up ever?

I want to share some pics of my dock/boathouse setup on Lake Chicot, Lake Village,AR. Me and my family own a construction company and one of the things we build are piers. I started wakeboarding in 1998 and have always dreamed of having the perfect dock to enjoy lake life and watersports. After years of building them for customers I was finally able to build one for myself. I'm not sure if it will ever be totally finished because I keep thinking of things to add. Enjoy and give me some input and opinions. I'll keep adding more photos as I get them.

Damn if you don't mind me asking what do properties like that run out there?

I don't like you.....I really don't like you at all!

That has got to be one of the best "boat houses" I've ever seen......Damn you!!!! I'm shaking my fist too.lol.

That is totally awesome!

Amazing building!! One of the best setups I've seen for sure. You guys know what you're doing.

What kind of permitting was involved? My home state is very protective of waterfront and on-water construction. Most structures like yours were grandfathered in from the 50's. This is a historic one that was used to house a sailboat. Now it's a private function venue.

Thats what heaven looks like to me.

We're located in a pretty rural area and so far no permitting is required. That is one awesome looking structure!

ugh..... wow! very well done

I know I'm 35 but can you adopt me. I'll knock down all the spider webs and wax the boat for you after every outing

I will consider it lol the spider webs are a constant battle!

Very nice. Suggestions, big water slide for all those kids.

Wow! I knew that place deserved its own thread. Great inspiration for a lot of people.

That's a sweet Dock!!!

Live free or die.

I want to live in Martaritaville!

boat "House" is definitely appropriate in this case. Well done.

I like the boat too.

You'd have to drag my dead body off that boathouse! I'd never leave!

This would be my #1 choice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqaAMx_4ZNw

Just WOW. Any idea where this place is located? I want to file it away for when I win the Lottery.

That's doin it right!

That is amazing, but what's the story on Martaritaville?

Martaritaville is my backyard. Not as nice as these last two boat house/docks but I didn't have to win the lottery to own it. Just a lot of sweat and good credit. Can't tell you how nice it is to just drop the boat in and go when you feel like it. It has three boat lifts all covered. One totally enclosed for the Malibu, one for the pontoon and one for my sunfish. It has a bathroom an outdoor kitchen and 16' bar with beer tap. Flat screen tv, commercial ice machine, lounge area and a lower sun/swim platform. I built the main walkway 8' wide to accommodate my golf cart which we use to transport people and other things from the lake bank to the dock. I plan to add a loft bedroom with a dormer and window over the center boatlift and an outdoor shower. We spend almost every afternoon and weekend on the dock either wakeboarding, surfing, paddle boarding,wakeskating,tubing,fishing or grilling, entertaining and having a few cold ones. I make some pretty mean margaritas!

There are no words!

I actually passed out while looking at the pictures. No blood flow to my brain for a couple minutes...

On Facebook their was a mancave posting with a mock mastercraft boat bar with windshield
Asking could there be a better mancave, I responded with yours, easy win!!

Yep....your win! Congrats on the amazing boathouse!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing and getting me thinking.
