First time on the market - freehold with Jetty

A place where family memories are made, this picturesque 1181sqm property delivers the quintessential lawn-to-lake lifestyle. It comes with an exclusive-use and recently rebuilt jetty, a quirky yet lovable A-frame home, and a huge section where friends and extended family can pitch their tents. Days will be spent on the lake catching trophy-sized trout, enjoying aquatic activities, lolling on deck chairs basking in nature and lapping up jaw-dropping views. The property has been treasured by the same family who built here in the 1970s. Aside from an old farmhouse, it was the first home to grace this slice of paradise. It comes to market for the first time. New owners can continue the legacy or redevelop the awesome site to suit their needs. Favouring a simple, informal architectural style, the A-frame gem spreads its wings over three levels. A kitchen, dining and living zone, as well as the bathroom, feature at ground level. A deck opens the interior to the great outdoors, extending living and entertaining options and encouraging effortless relaxation. Ladder stairs ascend to the first-floor bedrooms, including the master which treats its occupants to sensational lake views and a scenic balcony. A further set of ladder stairs extends to the loft. This versatile space caters for an overflow of guests and will appeal to kids. The laundry is housed in the attached single garage, which is complemented by a carport and good on-site parking. Wrapped in lush greenery and overlooking sparkling blue waters, this lake-front section has a wonderful back-to-nature vibe. The scenery is picture postcard perfect, and the location is absolute top drawer.
