ichael Schlup makes his living as a commercial real estate developer, so he is no stranger

to seeing a building go from the ground up. Still, it was a special treat for him to use his professional skills to oversee the construction of his 8,000-square foot vacation home in Sunrise Beach.

As the general contractor, Schlup used his own in-house construction crew to do all of the required work.

The team broke ground on the home in 2007 and completed the project two years later. One of their biggest obstacles was to level the ground by blasting solid rock out of the 30-foot hill where the home sits. They also used the land’s natural rock to design a complex, cascading waterfall, that incorporates an in-ground infinity-edge swimming pool, in the back gardens.

The Lake second home that Michael

Schlup built in Sunrise Beach was a true labor of love.

Among the many rooms in the home,

Michael spends the greatest amount of his time, is wrapped

in wood.

“There was never a blueprint on the waterfall,” Schlup explains. “It was designed on a daily basis and constantly changed as we tried to figure out the best way to divert the water.”

The home’s stone exterior and red clay tile roof reflects a Mediterranean influence. This historic style of architecture is continued throughout

the home with arches, columns and multiple enclosed outdoor spaces. Mike and his wife Michel, who live primarily in Overland Park, Kansas, opted to outfit their sprawling six bedroom, seven-and-a-half bathroom mansion without the help of an interior designer. The result is quality, yet unpretentious décor that doesn’t overwhelm the home’s luxurious Old-World craftsmanship.

“You can see that the house has a lot of character, and that there was a lot of thought put into it,” says Schlup. “We wanted a different look than what you would typically see.”

On the lower level, the open kitchen has a neutral color scheme of warm browns and cream. The medium-toned wood cabinetry pairs well with the stainless steel appliances, turn page
