This stunning home is located within a 100-acre family estate on the banks of the River Itchen. The surrounding parkland and tranquil waters make for a scenic backdrop to relaxing breaks, where you can enjoy refreshing dips in the lake and river and more leisurely swims in the heated pool. There’s also a wood-fired hot tub, a gym, and an outdoor lounge area with a barbecue and a fire pit. Floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides of the contemporary house make it bright, stylish, and bring in those stunning views.
