Welcome to a home where refined design meets nature’s quiet grandeur, a residence that does more than offer space; it offers a sense of place. Positioned above the shimmering lake edge, this exceptional property is a retreat in every sense. Set on 1,011sqm of beautifully landscaped and fully fenced grounds, it offers privacy, elevation, and unobstructed views across the lake, the kind that linger in memory long after the sun has set. Thoughtfully designed across two levels, this four-bedroom, three-bathroom home embraces open-plan living, generous proportions, and an effortless indoor-outdoor flow. At its heart is an entertainer’s dream, a large, open kitchen complete with a fully equipped butler’s kitchen, ideal for effortless hosting. This culinary space flows seamlessly onto the expansive entertainer’s deck, where the spa pool invites you, perfectly poised to take in sweeping lake vistas while steam curls into the sunset sky. Inside, warmth and character are woven through every detail. Bespoke timber features, from arched hallway accents to wood-accented ceilings, bring a lodge-like intimacy, while large windows and sliding doors ensure the home remains light-filled and connected to the landscape. Two expansive living areas offer flexibility for family life or entertaining, while a wood burner, double glazing, and ceiling insulation provides comfort through all seasons. The layout is functional yet refined, with each space designed to support both quiet moments and shared experiences. Upstairs, the primary bedrooms each open to private balconies, where misty mornings roll in over the water and stillness becomes a part of your daily rhythm. A dedicated study (or optional fifth bedroom) allows space to work, create, or simply retreat. Practicality is well considered too, with internal-access garaging, generous storage throughout, and modern comforts integrated seamlessly into the design. This is not just a property. It is more than a home. It’s a statement. A destination. A life reimagined, at the water’s edge.
