Others are about the way you live in them. This distinctive Island Lake property offers something wonderfully different — a resort-style small holding lifestyle where nature is not simply something you look at, but something you experience every day. From the moment you enter, the combination of exposed timber, Oriental-inspired finishes and lush indigenous landscaping creates an almost tropical-island atmosphere. The home is designed entirely around its surroundings, with the living spaces and bedrooms opening towards the ever-changing panorama of Island Lake, the surrounding mountains and the forested landscape beyond. The long wooden deck is the heart of the home, with the open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen at its centre and two beautifully appointed bedrooms positioned on either side. Both bedrooms are mirror images, each with an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet and loft space, and both open directly onto the deck. One bedroom has both a bath and shower, with the bathtub positioned beside stable-style windows framing the lake view. The second bedroom has a shower and a door opening directly into the garden, offering the luxury of an outdoor shower surrounded by nature. Here, the view is never quite the same twice. Seasons become part of the scenery. Bird migrations bring new visitors, wildlife moves through the landscape, weather transforms the mountains and lake, and the rhythm of life on the water unfolds in front of you. It is a home where nature provides the entertainment. The indigenous garden follows the natural contours of the hillside, with tiered spaces creating different vantage points from which to enjoy the surroundings. Birdlife is abundant and the forested setting gives the property a rare sense of privacy and connection to the natural world. At ground level, a separate one-bedroom flatlet(on plan as Garage) with its own parking and gated access provides excellent flexibility — ideal for visiting family, a work-from-home setup or potentially as manager's accommodation should the property be operated as a holiday rental. A tandem carport with 2 entrance gates and additional parking are also provided. Rainwater harvesting and a septic tank, together with municipal electricity, create a practical almost-off-grid setup, while the peaceful street and easy N2 access make the property surprisingly convenient. The property also its own fresh water, supplied by.... The home's elevated position, extensive steps and tiered garden lend themselves to an active lifestyle rather than effortless accessibility. It is particularly suited to a couple who work from home, semi-retired owners who still have the energy to enjoy and potentially operate a holiday rental, or those looking for a distinctive nature-based income property. And then there is Island Lake itself. Situated directly opposite the Wilderness National Park and renowned for its exceptional birdlife, this forest-enveloped hillside offers a rare opportunity to live within an ever-changing natural landscape. The nearest beach is approximately 1.5km away, Wilderness 8km and George 16km. A home that feels less like a conventional residence and more like your own private nature resort — where the seasons, wildlife, birds and changing light become part of everyday life.
