Why the owner chose a home in this location
We first spotted the houses on the internet. After having visited them we both immediately fell in love with the magical location. It is within 15 minutes of the Lakeside & overlooks one leg of the lake with views stretching 20 - 30 miles with the mountains in the background. The houses are situated in a wooded area with a number of walks that lead you up the mountains- absolutely breathtaking.
Unique benefits of the property
In the summer the bedrroms remain cool as the property is reverse level & the bedrooms are set into the mountain. The views from the living area is breathtaking. The house has a large terrace that has a roof over perfect for al fresco dining/bar-b-ques.
There is a swimming pool that is available during the summer with a deck for sun bathing.
