From the kitchen walk down a few steps into the library space, maybe take a nap in the oversized comfy reading chair by the window. Continue through the house to the impressive Great Room and enjoy fantastic uninterrupted views through oversized windows overlooking the lake & pool. This space is incredibly large and designed for dining, games, rest &/or relaxation. The dining table seats 12 people. The extra-large lounge suite and beanbags offer the perfect environment for watching a movie or playing games on the large wall-mounted smart TV. The TV is also connected to an excellent sound system with sub-woofer.
Also downstairs is the sunken master bedroom (queenbed) with a lit walk-in robe (hidden behind the bedroom door), study nook, storage cupboard & large comfortable lounge chair, ceiling fan and dedicated A/C. Just beyond the main master bedroom door is the full bathroom which is effectively the ensuite (however technically it can be accessed by others in the house if they know where to find it). This bathroom has a massive shower, toilet, large sink, granite counter tops and a lot of counter space.
There is an internal spiral staircase from the library taking you to the second level of the main house. There is also an external set of stairs to access upstairs too (so there is no need to attempt to carry luggage via the spiral staircase).
On the second level of the main house are three bedrooms: two queen bedrooms and one bunk room. There is a full bathroom and a half-bath too (so two toilets upstairs). Also on this level is the Sky Bar which has a wet bar area with mini fridge that leads via French doors to the stunning roof top Sky Deck. This is a spectacular space to enjoy a quiet morning coffee, sunset drinks or simply a mindful escape.
The Barndominium boasts a very large entertainment area, bedroom, full bathroom with large shower, laundry (washer & dryer) & separate toilet. In the entertainment space is a wet bar compete with neon lights, pool & fuseball tables, massive lounge suite, TV, fridge & sound system. The bedroom has a queen bed with a bunk bed (sleeps 4 people) and has a dedicated A/C and ceiling fan.
The Guesthouse is a third separate building on the estate. This fully self-contained private space is perfect for a family with young kids. It has a large bedroom with a queenbed and bunk bed, so it sleeps 4 people. It also has a 3 seater lounge chair, A/C & ceiling fan. The private full bathroom consists of a shower, toilet and pedestal handbasin with a third adjoining room containing ample storage, large granite countertop with inset sink & a lot of space – perfect to spread out a little more.
For the mobility challenged the Guesthouse is suitable for walkers and wheelchair access via a ramp, as is the kitchen to the main house. All other areas of the estate have steps or stairs. All showers throughout the property have step-up entry and are not suitable for roll-in wheelchair access.
Each of the three structures (main house, guesthouse & barndominium) each have their own dedicated hot water systems for fast delivery of hot water. All bedrooms and main living spaces throughout the estate are air conditioned, most with ceiling fans too. Wifi is also provided and is accessible throughout the three separate buildings.
The private outdoor pool is a highlight of property with amazing uninterrupted lake views, underwater seats, shallow swim area especially for the kids and fun underwater mood lighting.

Low Lake Level Notice: Medina Lake is not a constant level lake. The lake level is currently very low and unfortunately our cove is now dry. Given the amazing pool & other amenities on the property we feel you will most likely not want to leave the premises. However if you do want a small adventure there are now walking tracks on the lake bed that are fun to explore – if you look closely you’ll find old fossils & artifacts. The views from the property are still lovely even when the lake is low.
