1490b Kangaroo Valley Road - "The Lake House", Kangaroo Valley

Poised amidst the natural splendour of Kangaroo Valley, 'The Lake House' evokes the romantic essence of a European villa, offering a captivating world of beauty and tranquility. Stepping inside, the main wing of the home wraps you in elegance and comfort, from the formal lounge with a fireplace to the expansive bi-fold doors that blur the lines between inside and out. Journey upstairs, and three bedrooms with Juliet balconies open up to escarpment valley vistas, providing a sight to behold from dawn to dusk. The dining room, serving a dual purpose, effortlessly welcomes space for a home office and is warmed by the gentle crackle of a combustion fireplace. Meanwhile, a sophisticated kitchen showcases a meals area, freestanding electric oven and gas cooktop, direct external access, and a handy servery window, perfect for garden-side entertaining. Both rooms feature beautiful, handcrafted windows. An innovative breezeway, filled with ambient light and courtyard outlooks, seamlessly marries the charm of the original home to a secondary wing. This wing, a haven in itself, houses a music room or home theatre with a built-in motorised projector screen, plus a luxurious bedroom and bathroom suite. Outdoors, the magic only continues. Lavender-scented patios, Boston ivy-clad terraces, and grape vine-adorned pergolas create an array of alfresco settings, with tranquil ponds and water features adding to the serenity. Yet, the crowning jewel is undoubtedly the vast lake, its shimmering expanse adorned with three islands, one revered as the 'Wedding Island', where the previous owners were married. This would make a fantastic horse property for those looking for good paddocks with an endless water source. Nestled within a 15-minute drive of Berry and the scenic attractions of Kangaroo Valley, 'The Lake House' stands as a bridge between modern comforts and sublime countryside living. • Italian-inspired villa estate, set amidst stunning Kangaroo Valley • 'The Lake House' reveals a refined residence across multiple wings • North facing offering all-day sun and expansive escarpment views • Formal lounge with bi-fold doors and slow-combustion fireplace • Versatile dining space with room for home office setup and fireplace • Modern kitchen with meals area, external access, and servery window • Three upstairs bedrooms with Juliet balconies and escarpment views • Luminous breezeway connects the original home to a secondary wing • Wing reveals a living space, fourth bedroom, ensuite and terrace • Air-conditioning plus underfloor heating on the ground floor • Detailed timber windows and ornate light fittings throughout • Multiple paved alfresco patios with Boston ivy, grape vine and wisteria-clad pergolas • Vast 3-acre lake with three islands, built-in aeration units, and a jetty • Four fully fenced paddocks and a 3-car garage/carport • 5-minute drive to Kangaroo Valley village, 15 minutes to Berry and 25 minutes to the beach
