Tucked away in the heart of Lake Hawea, this beautifully crafted sanctuary delivers sun, shelter and space, all within private, immaculately landscaped grounds.Set at the end of the peaceful Sam John Place cul-de-sac, the architecturally designed home occupies 4,020 sq m (more or less) of fully fenced land, introduced by a striking designer entrance gate that sets the tone from the outset. Mature plantings and considered garden design create a strong sense of separation and privacy, while Lake Hawea, village shops and community amenities remain just minutes away by bike or car.The 235 sq m (approx.) floor plan has been thoughtfully designed to maximise light, shelter and views. Open-plan kitchen, dining and living spaces connect seamlessly to outdoor areas on both the northern and southern sides. To the north, a sunny patio enjoys garden and mountain views, while a full-length, all-weather louvred pergola extends the living zone for year-round enjoyment. The sheltered southern patio offers an inviting setting for barbecues and spa evenings, framed by open alpine outlooks.Solid timber flooring and high-stud ceilings enhance the sense of warmth and space throughout. The eastern master suite is a private retreat, complete with walk-in wardrobe, ensuite and direct access to a sun-soaked patio. A second bedroom to the west also opens outdoors and is supported by a beautifully appointed bathroom with designer bath and separate shower. An adjacent study provides flexibility to become a third bedroom if desired. Comfort is assured year-round with a wood burner, two gas heaters and under-tile heating in both bathrooms.Outside, the grounds deliver a true lifestyle offering. Expansive lawns lead to established vegetable gardens, a productive tunnel house, fruit trees, flower beds and native plantings. Infrastructure is equally impressive, with a fully insulated double garage offering potential as a future guest studio, an 84 sq m shed with camper parking beneath a shade sail, tandem carport and generous wood storage.Immaculately presented and thoughtfully executed, this is a lifestyle property that balances comfort, functionality and outdoor living in a setting that feels settled, private and calm.With their plans evolving and one home too many for an adventurous lifestyle, our sellers now offer this much-loved Hawea retreat to its new owner.
