Straight out of the pages of a Jane Austen novel, Lake House is truly an estate without rival.
From the moment you enter the property you are assailed by an expansive vista of Hawthorn hedges, views to the majestic Western Tiers and the meandering Macquarie and Lake Rivers. Lake House is reached by a sweeping drive through mature oak plantings and up a rise creating a wonderful sense of arrival. Built in 1830, the house is regarded as one of the finest colonial examples of neo-classical Greek Revival style in Australia.
The stately 3 storey 1000 sqm residence has been meticulously renovated and restored creating stunning and timeless interiors. The impressive entrance leads to a number of beautifully appointed reception rooms of Georgian proportions: library, study, drawing room, dining room, formal and informal sitting rooms and grand living wing. The conservatory, with its handsome French windows, is bathed in light and capture the views of the Macquarie River and rural landscape beyond There are eight beautifully appointed bedrooms, all with ensuites.
