Some Old Bach By A Lake

We’ve been asked to sell this old bach and have begrudgingly agreed to do so. Honestly, we can’t imagine why anyone would want it. Being only the second holiday home ever built on Lake Hayes, it’s as old as dirt!

Speaking of dirt, the site spans more than 2,000 square metres, offering a rare and generous canvas in one of Lake Hayes’ most tightly held stretches. Elevated above Bendemeer Bay, it captures a commanding position with an intimate connection to the water below, where the lake feels close enough to touch yet expansive enough to take your breath away.

The north-west aspect ensures long, golden afternoons, with the sun tracking across the lake and settling into the mountains in the distance. It is the kind of orientation that defines how a home lives and feels, inviting outdoor spaces, natural light, and a constant interplay between sky and water.

With this scale and setting, the development potential is significant. A substantial single residence would sit comfortably here, taking full advantage of the elevation and view lines, while multiple standalone homes could also be considered without compromising privacy or outlook. There is even scope for a more ambitious scheme, drawing inspiration from nearby developments such as The Elms.

Importantly, this is a site where expert design will unlock exceptional living. Homes along this coveted stretch have long demonstrated how intelligent positioning, landscaping, and specification can create quiet, private sanctuaries that remain deeply connected to their surroundings.

When land was originally chosen along this shoreline, it was selected with permanence in mind. That foresight endures today. With protected outlook across Bendemeer Bay Reserve and no risk of interruption to the view, this is a position that will remain as compelling decades from now as it is today.

Opportunities like this are rarely offered, and even more rarely repeated.

We strongly recommend arranging a viewing in-person, as this property’s scale, orientation and unmatched outlook simply cannot be appreciated from a distance.
