What a rarity! Set in the highly sought after and tightly held Three Mile Bay, this waterfront residence offers a rare opportunity to secure a large family home with breathtaking, sweeping lake views. This home, presented in pristine condition and rich in character, offers the perfect balance between relaxed holiday living and everyday convenience, making it equally inviting for permanent residency or a peaceful retreat.

Boasting five bedrooms — including a versatile sleepout — and three bathrooms, there is ample space for family and guests alike. The master suite enjoys the luxury of an ensuite and opens directly onto the deck, where uninterrupted lake views provide the perfect backdrop to wake up to each day.

The heart of the home is the expansive main living area, where high ceilings and a generous sense of space are enhanced by a large open fire and heat pump, setting the scene no matter the season. Dual access to outdoor living areas on either side of the home makes entertaining effortless; while ensuring you can follow the sun and soak in the spectacular views from every angle. The kitchen, filled with original charm yet spacious in design, continues the home’s warm and inviting character.

Privately tucked away on a quiet street, the property feels like your own hidden sanctuary, where peace and luxury combine. Fully irrigated lawns and established grounds make for easy living, while the garage conversion adds incredible versatility — now offering a second living area, bedroom, and bathroom, along with single garage parking. This clever setup extends guest accommodation and provides the perfect base for family gatherings and long summer stays.

Nestled in one of the region’s most desirable pockets, with easy access down to the lake’s edge, this home captures the very essence of waterfront living. A rarity in both location and lifestyle, it offers unbeatable views and an enviable combination of comfort, charm, and quietude.
