The Lake House

The Lake House.

Come for the 30-metre conservatory and its pull towards the water, and give yourself time to see the rest of what makes this one of the most magnificent homes in the region.

Designed in collaboration with London-based architect Alex Wilcock and built to exacting standards by Triple Star Construction, the home is a careful composition of proportion, material and view. The result is refined, quietly theatrical architecture that never shouts; it simply draws you to the water and lets the light do the talking.

The home

Two levels, made for living well.

The plan has been calibrated for living and entertaining. Close to 600 m² of exquisitely detailed accommodation (five bedrooms, five bathrooms) unfolds with generous living rooms, a 30 metre long conservatory, and a serious scullery and food-store to service daily living and large gatherings. Two distinct master suites and a separate guest wing give the home practical flexibility; this house can be enjoyed as a private family home or used to host colleagues and guests with true privacy between zones. There is room for long stays, and room to keep your own routines.

Kitchen with timber-clad islands, pendant lights and windows to the trees and lake

The kitchen

The kitchen is purposeful and sociable, with commercial-grade appliances, dual Vintec wine fridges and thoughtful, separate zones that make hosting calm and smooth. A mirrored-glass splashback extends to the ceiling and keeps the view front and centre from any angle. Bespoke joinery, Italian fittings and designer lighting complete the picture for a kitchen that is as beautiful to inhabit as it is capable of large-scale hospitality.

Beneath the poise of the rooms sits a very modern powerhouse of intelligent utilities, plant and infrastructure. Ground-source, hydronic underfloor heating with 25 wells to the lake, a VRF ducted climate control system, and KNX home automation all quietly work away below in a dedicated ~150 m² bunker basement. Beyond accommodating the home’s working heart and serving as large secure storage, this unique space could support a range of recreational or vocational pursuits (bowling alley, home cinema, wine cellar, supercomputer/server/mining room, to name a few).

Outside, the garden is intentionally designed for year-round colour and privacy, an awarded ecology-led landscape that complements the house rather than competes with it. Thoughtful outdoor living, an established native palette and easy water access (including a private boat dock and marina nearby) place the property in direct, generous relationship with the lake.
