Chain free. From the striking curved exterior to the light-filled interior spaces, every aspect has been carefully crafted for both aesthetics and functionality.

The emphasis on natural light and energy efficiency is commendable, enhancing not only the ambiance but also the sustainability of the home.

The large picture windows in the drawing room, overlooking the decked viewing platform and the lake, must offer stunning vistas and a constant connection with nature.

The expansive kitchen/breakfast room is a dream for both cooking enthusiasts and entertainers, with its luxury Gaggenau appliances and ample space for hosting gatherings, and the addition of a basement with a wine cellar, utility room, and storage area adds practicality and convenience to the home.

Ascending the elegant staircase to the first floor reveals the main bedroom with its ensuite bathroom, dressing room, and glazed balcony overlooking the lake. What a tranquil retreat!

With three additional double bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, there's plenty of space for family and guests to enjoy the luxury of lakeside living.

Outside, the decked areas surrounding the house offer inviting spaces for relaxation and socialising, while the second decked platform over the lake provides a unique opportunity to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the surroundings.

Overall, this home is a haven of modern luxury nestled amidst peaceful semi-rural landscapes.

It's truly a testament to contemporary architectural design and an ideal retreat for those seeking both elegance and tranquillity. Agent's note - Internal images - CGI. The property is vacant.
