About this property
With its shimmering waterfront terrace and private pontoon stretching out onto the pristine waters of Lake Annecy, this exceptional lakeside residence offers a front-row seat to the changing moods of the lake. Light pours into the open-plan living space designed with modern elegance and convivial warmth, inviting you to gather, relax and soak in the beauty that surrounds you.
Set across three levels, Lakehouse Annecy is an exceptional abode that effortlessly balances comfort and style. The ground floor features a sleek American-style kitchen open-plan to the large living-dining area, with large windows framing the incredible vistas. A separate TV lounge is a welcome respite after a busy day exploring, whilst table football and ping-pong will keep all ages entertained.
Lakehouse Annecy hosts up to 15 guests across nine beautifully appointed bedrooms, eight of which feature air-conditioning. Some of our favourites include the three bedrooms in the ground-floor family wing, or fall in love with the three first-floor double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, TVs and wonderful views. At the top of the house, a superb studio bedroom, complete with kitchenette, lounge and a gorgeous open bathroom, provides an ideal sanctuary for couples or those seeking added privacy.
Outdoors, it’s simply idyllic as you relax on the generous terrace and lawn that lead directly to the lake’s edge. Spend sunny days lounging on sun loungers beside the water’s edge, paddleboarding from the pontoon or dining al-fresco at one of the two spacious outdoor settings, with barbecue and chilled wine at the ready. In cooler months, the newly added wood-fired hot tub ensures warmth and relaxation.
Just 16km by bike or car from Annecy, known as the Venice of the Alps, this southern lakeside setting is ideal year-round. From serene swims and hiking trails in summer to skiing in the nearby Aravis resorts come winter, the region is a natural playground. Restaurants, vineyards and vibrant festivals await, while a local summer ferry offers scenic trips.
Lakehouse Annecy caters to every need - be it breakfast deliveries, private chefs, yoga sessions or mountain adventures. Whether you're hosting a family gathering or getaway with good friends, every detail is tailored for ease, enjoyment and unforgettable moments overlooking the water.
At the southern tip of the lake, Lakehouse Annecy enjoys an exceptional and privileged setting on the waterfront with direct access to Lake Annecy.
Bordering both the lake and river, there is a pontoon for lake access and a mooring buoy can be hired (on request, at an additional cost). Just set back from the main road and close to the Bout du Lac Nature Reserve, this stunning abode offers natural beauty without sacrificing convenience, placing an abundance of lakeside leisure just moments away.
Just a short stroll away, two seasonal watersports clubs offer wakeboarding, windsurfing, kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing. For those who prefer land-based pursuits, tennis courts can be found opposite a nearby summer campsite, while the lakeside voie verte cycle path, directly across from the villa, provides 42 kilometres of superb riding through stunning scenery (mainly car-free, especially along the western shores). For more serious cyclists, the surrounding cols (frequent stages of the Tour de France) promise exhilarating climbs and epic views.
The area is a paradise for adventure-seekers. Lake Annecy is world-famous for paragliding, with local operators offering tandem flights and courses from La Forclaz and Planfait, landing nearby in Doussard. Closer to home, the Bout du Lac Reserve offers gentle walking trails, while more challenging hikes lead to panoramic viewpoints at Le Taillefer and Col de la Forclaz. Those craving adrenaline will find canyoning, rock climbing and via ferrata on offer across the region.
When it’s time to unwind, a rich array of restaurants awaits, whether it's lakeside dining within walking distance or local favourites in nearby villages within a short drive or bike ride. There are also summer boat trips nearby for panoramic lake tours and trips to Annecy town.
With its unparalleled setting and wealth of nearby activities, Lakehouse Annecy is an idyllic launchpad for lakeside living and Alpine adventure alike.
