Location:
At the southern tip of the lake, Lakehouse Annecy enjoys an exceptional and privileged setting on the waterfront with direct access to Lake Annecy.
Bordering both the lake and river, there is a pontoon for lake access and a mooring buoy can be hired (on request, at an additional cost). Just set back from the main road and close to the Bout du Lac Nature Reserve, this stunning abode offers natural beauty without sacrificing convenience, placing an abundance of lakeside leisure just moments away.
Just a short stroll away, two seasonal watersports clubs offer wakeboarding, windsurfing, kayaking, paddleboarding and sailing. For those who prefer land-based pursuits, tennis courts can be found opposite a nearby summer campsite, while the lakeside voie verte cycle path, directly across from the villa, provides 42 kilometres of superb riding through stunning scenery (mainly car-free, especially along the western shores). For more serious cyclists, the surrounding cols (frequent stages of the Tour de France) promise exhilarating climbs and epic views.
The area is a paradise for adventure-seekers. Lake Annecy is world-famous for paragliding, with local operators offering tandem flights and courses from La Forclaz and Planfait, landing nearby in Doussard. Closer to home, the Bout du Lac Reserve offers gentle walking trails, while more challenging hikes lead to panoramic viewpoints at Le Taillefer and Col de la Forclaz. Those craving adrenaline will find canyoning, rock climbing and via ferrata on offer across the region.
When it’s time to unwind, a rich array of restaurants awaits, whether it's lakeside dining within walking distance or local favourites in nearby villages within a short drive or bike ride. There are also summer boat trips nearby for panoramic lake tours and trips to Annecy town.
With its unparalleled setting and wealth of nearby activities, Lakehouse Annecy is an idyllic launchpad for lakeside living and Alpine adventure alike.
