Set within an exclusive resort, this contemporary villa is oriented almost entirely around the lake that stretches beyond its living spaces and main bedrooms. Slide open the doors and the breeze comes straight off the water; step outside and you have a private pool, a fire pit at the lake's edge, and a terrace where long alfresco lunches feel inevitable. Three mini boats let you venture out on the water, and a full concierge, housekeeping, and butler service means the logistics largely take care of themselves – leaving more time for the resort's beaches and golf.
