Come and connect with nature in a comfort of luxury. Numerous species of birds, otters, deer, racoons, and Lucy, the skunk, can be spotted right outside the house. Gorgeous panoramic views of the lake and Mt Konocti from the inside the house, the two decks and all the outdoor areas. Multiple indoor and outdoor dining and conversation areas. Whole house water filter/softener, instant hot water spigot in the kitchen, BBQ gas grill, gas firepit (extra propane tanks are by the grill), hot outdoor shower, Sonos surround sound system (operated with a tablet). Outdoor speakers are not permitted as per the City of Clearlake, since the sound carries far on the lake. It can get windy on the lake, and it can happen year around. In the summer, the breeze is welcomed, and it's nice to cool off on a hot day. In the winter, it urges you to come inside and snuggle up under a blanket enjoying the amazing views, reading a book, watching your favorite movie, or playing games with your family or friends. Game room activities include shuffleboard, pool table/ping pong/air hockey table, toys for the little ones and board games (those are in the cabinets of the library). Brand new adjustable professional grade basketball hoop right outside the house. Fully equipped chef's kitchen is all set up for cooking and entertaining. Two large supermarkets 13 minutes away or a small convenience store 9 minutes from the house. We provide two refrigerators for your groceries, one in the kitchen (with two ice makers), and the other one upstairs in the laundry room. Door Dash has limited options and Safeway supermarket delivers. Numerous local wineries provide picturesque views and some of the best wines in the area. See my Host Guidebook for ideas on food and wine. In house masseuse and/or yoga instructors available upon request (availability permitted). With the property being so specious, on the water and having large picture windows, you feel like you are on a large ship. The otters come and hang out on the dock and feel right at home. In the winter, gorgeous large white pelicans come in flocks and feed on the lake. Oftentimes, you can spot a pair of Golden Eagles stretching their wings over the lake and flying right over the house to their nest up on the hill behind the property. In the summer, the deer come in numbers to feed on table scraps we put out on the platform my husband built for them across from the front door. Swimming pool (warm during summer months) and spa provide hours of fun for our guests and are a rare thing on the lake, we are proud to be able to offer them:) Guest access The whole property is yours for enjoyment (with the exception of owner storage area downstairs). Other things to note The pier and dock remodel is finished (see the pictures). The swimming platform is almost done and can be used already. Boat lift renovation is next. Water sports equipment provided: 4 paddle boards, one single kayak, one double kayak, kayak moving trolley, life vests of different sizes, and pool towels. USE WATERSPORTS AT YOUR OWN RISK! The weather can be unpredictable on the lake and can change within 15 minutes time frame with wind and large waves. If you are caught in this weather out on the lake, we recommend hugging the shores to come back to the house or exit the lake if necessary and ALWAYS wear a life vest. There is a small community boat launch area two houses to the left. Redbud Park in Clearlake (15 min away) has large boat launching areas. For boat/jet ski rentals, go to Disney's Boat Rentals in Lakeport. If you are looking for a large lake beach, Austin Park Beach and Playground is 12 minutes away. When the weather warms up, it is common to spot lake bugs. They look like mosquitoes, but larger, the amazing thing is though that they don't bite:)
