About this property

The Water House—Lakeside Serenity & Modern Comfort

Every detail of this lakeside haven is designed to complement its waterfront setting — airy, refined interiors bathed in natural light and opening to serene blue horizons. Step into the light-filled living area, where warm leather sofas and ocean-inspired artwork create an inviting space for conversation and relaxation while the tranquil lake shimmers just beyond the windows.

The contemporary kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, including a stainless-steel oven, dishwasher, and Nespresso machine. A breakfast bar with timber stools offers a casual perch to keep the chef company as meals come together. The adjoining dining area invites long, easy gatherings with calming water views.

Afterwards, step into the fully fenced backyard — perfect for BBQs, morning yoga, or launching the kayak straight from your private lakeside edge. The gentle water only steps away makes this an idyllic setting to unwind and reconnect with nature.

Three restful bedrooms continue the soft coastal palette. The primary bedroom feels light and serene with a bay window and natural linen tones, while the other two offer cosy comfort with thoughtful styling. The sleek bathroom pairs a freestanding tub with a walk-in shower, complemented by a separate toilet for added convenience. A powder room and a private laundry with a washer and drying rack ensure every stay feels simple.

With Wi-Fi, split-system air conditioning and heating, plus ceiling fans, and on-site parking, every convenience is covered.
