$2.4m striking Watsons Creek lakeside retreat hits market

Striking architecture, a family friendly floorplan and respect for the surrounding landscape have combined for an enviable design at this 1.42ha property in Watsons Creek. The vendors, who bought the 782 Eltham-Yarra Glen Rd property in 2006, were drawn to the land for its sweeping lawns, established gums, expansive lake, and Watsons Creek. Over time, the appeal has not diminished. “The lake has a multitude of ducks and ducklings who find sanctuary in the lake. It is also home to eastern long-necked turtles,” the vendor says. “The back yard is surrounded by two creeks; in winter, it’s a lovely sight to see them fully flowing. There is decking along two sides of the house and a cantilevered concrete ledge at the back of the house, so beautiful to sit with a glass of wine on a summer evening.” The decking isn’t the only new addition from the current owners, they also added the residence.
