Elegant, tasteful and high quality are just a few words that could be used
to describe this lovely craftsman-style lodge. The North American owner
is a tradesman and has lovingly poured his heart into the details of this
home. Many of the key building materials were imported and as such are
not commonly available here in provincial Chile.
Take advantage of the Peachtree brand insulated low-e glass windows to
shield you from any possibility of drafts. Or consider the 3-D architectural
asphalt shingles overhead that will be certain to keep the rain out for the
next 30 years. This is a house built to stand the test of time.
Replete with many hand crafted items including the kitchen cabinets, sink
basins and the beautiful stairways. Most of the floors in the building are
hardwoods & the house gleams with light bouncing off all of these warm
wood surfaces.
Even the outdoor stand-alone sauna was made on-site and reflects the
sense of pride that this couple has put into all of the details within. Enjoy
your guests or extended family but keep your peace and quiet since the
master bedroom suite has its own wing and a private winding staircase.
The house is sited to maximize the spectacular views of several volcanoes
both front and rear of the home. This includes a prominent display of the
beautiful white peaked Volcan Osorno rising out of the shining glass water
of Lake Llanquihue.
In the winter you can snuggle in with a hot tea by the fireplace in the open
concept livingroom and visible are the handhewn beams overhead.
When summer comes hang out on the cozy farmer’s porch and breathe
in the fresh Patagonian air. It’s always tranquil and relaxing here. But
when you’re in the mood for company just behind you uphill is a growing
assortment of international neighbors there for the same lifestyle and
view. Head on out for some delicious fish dishes or tasty German food just
30 minutes away by car to Puerto Varas.
Move here and join the expatriate movement to one of the steadiest
growing lakeside towns in Southern Chile and you’ll be awfully glad that
you did.
