00:00Nothing beats life on the lake, saying goodbye to the daily grind and hello to incredible waterfront views, opulent homes, gorgeous interiors, and a lifestyle to match.
00:15Sarah and Alan are moving from the country to the lake to fully take advantage of their desire to live off the land.
00:21This is a home feature we're looking for.
00:23Yes, this is beautiful.
00:25Look at the view.
00:27This is crazy.
00:30They're looking for lakefront luxury.
00:35Sarah and Alan live in the country on a farm dedicated to nature and sustainability.
00:40They're looking to sell their country home in favor of a lakeside property that would give them farm amenities and add a water source for their bees.
00:48I'm Sarah.
00:48I'm Alan.
00:49And we've been together for about 12 years.
00:51I'm at work.
00:52I'm an IT security specialist.
00:54And my computer was broken, so I had to keep calling IT to come back to fix my computer.
00:59And this guy kept coming back to my desk.
01:01Twelve years later, here we are.
01:04The honeybees were a fantastic idea.
01:06I'd started with one beehive, and now we're up to several.
01:09We also have chickens and a beautiful vegetable garden.
01:14One thing that we're really missing is lakefront.
01:16It's also a really great water source for our honeybees.
01:20On my wish list is to have two separate sinks in our en suite.
01:24I do a lot of cooking, so in the kitchen, I would love to have a lot of counter space.
01:29I would love to have a lot of space for my garden.
01:32I'm okay with seeing a property that might need some updates, and I'm pretty comfortable doing those rentals myself.
01:37And I would definitely love some space to have a golf simulator.
01:42What?
01:43Me and the lads just playing golf on our own inside during winter.
01:47We'll see.
01:49Lastly, a place to help expand the bee population.
01:52With my honey.
01:53Agent Reba Wilson will be working with Sarah and Allen to find them a sustainable home with plenty of acreage.
02:02Sarah and Allen are looking for a waterfront property to serve as a natural source for their honeybees.
02:07This property offers a sprawling waterfront that has a resort feel.
02:12The first home Reba will be showing is Lifestyle Retreat.
02:15This Florida-inspired residence spans 6,500 square feet, featuring four bedrooms and six bathrooms.
02:21The great room boasts 18-foot vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace.
02:26The open-concept kitchen and dining area includes an oversized island and large windows that offer breathtaking views.
02:33The primary suite has a private walkout and an ensuite with a soaker tub.
02:37This home also has an outdoor pool and 407 feet of water frontage.
02:42Good morning, Sarah and Allen.
02:43Good morning.
02:44I'm excited to show you guys this house.
02:46There's so much potential here, and I think you're going to love the outdoor space.
02:49Great. I'm excited to see the first house.
02:51Let's see it.
02:51Let's have a look.
02:54Wow.
02:55Oh, wow. This is something.
02:57You're looking at 18-and-a-half-foot ceilings here, and this wood-burning fireplace, which anchors this room.
03:03The high ceilings make this room look humongous.
03:06And this view out to the lake, this is exactly what we're looking for.
03:10Now, Sarah, I know you're the chef in the family, so let's go take a look at the kitchen, and you can check out your baking space.
03:16Wow.
03:16Oh, wow. Look at the counter space.
03:20Yeah.
03:21In addition to getting the high ceilings, you also have this open-concept family room and kitchen space.
03:26One of the things that I really love is this beautiful bay window.
03:30There's a few things that I'd like to do.
03:31First of all, getting rid of the wallpaper.
03:33Probably with the countertop as well.
03:35Reba, I just noticed that in the corner.
03:37What is that?
03:38It's a toaster.
03:39Open it up.
03:39Oh, my God.
03:40This is amazing.
03:41Pop your toast right in and serve it at the table.
03:44Out of all the old things in this house, I am definitely keeping that.
03:48Okay.
03:48I'm glad that you're vibing with this kitchen.
03:51Let's go check out the primary suite.
03:54Wow.
03:55Wow.
03:55What a beautiful view.
03:57I'm liking this.
03:58You're looking out to your views, and they are front and center here.
04:02The view out to the lake from here is absolutely stunning, and the vaulted ceiling makes it feel even more grand.
04:09The only thing missing for me is a toaster in the wall.
04:12Let's go check out the ensuite bathroom.
04:14There's no toasters there either.
04:17It's a good size.
04:18Yeah, yeah, not bad.
04:19This bathroom is all about the potential.
04:22We have a large soaking tub in the window, a glass shower, and your large vanity.
04:27It's a little outdated, so there's definitely going to be some work involved.
04:31You can handle it.
04:31It'll be fine.
04:32Let's go check out the outside.
04:36Ooh, this is really nice.
04:37There's a pool over here with a waterfall feature.
04:41Here we have a koi pond and this thatch tiki hut.
04:44Don't kill me, but I definitely think that I would fill this pool in.
04:48It's just not energy efficient.
04:50If you're looking for a more natural part to the property, let me show you another space.
04:54Okay.
04:55All right.
04:55Welcome to your private waterfront.
04:57This place is absolutely beautiful.
05:00So it's a great spot for some beehives here.
05:02The only thing we haven't talked about is the golf simulator.
05:05Oh, gosh.
05:06On the other side of the garage, it's got a studio space.
05:09So you can have three golf simulators in there if you want to.
05:13That's amazing.
05:13Well, listen, guys, we've wrapped up the tour.
05:15Let's go talk inside.
05:17Sarah and Alan, we've just seen this amazing lakefront property.
05:21It's 6,500 square feet, four bedrooms, six bathrooms with 407 feet of waterfront.
05:28The price is $4,150,000.
05:32Considering the view and the waterfront, I think it's a fair price.
05:37When we walked into the great room, I absolutely loved the views and the high ceilings.
05:43When we entered the kitchen, the first thing I noticed was how large and bright the space was.
05:49There are some renovations to do in the kitchen, such as the countertop and the wallpaper, but those are somewhat minor.
05:55I felt the primary bedroom was amazing, just being able to walk right out there into the water.
06:01I was really impressed by the size of the ensuite.
06:03My only concern is that it would be a good job, and that's a lot of work.
06:08The moment we walked outside, it was calm and serene.
06:12I think it'll be a great source of water for our bees.
06:14But as beautiful as that pool was, it doesn't really reflect our lifestyle.
06:20Reba, this property is amazing.
06:23But I'm thinking maybe we could look for something a little smaller.
06:27And with some more green space as well.
06:30Yeah.
06:30No problem.
06:31This house is absolutely beautiful.
06:33But it kind of feels a little bit like a resort.
06:41Sarah and Alan are searching for their dream lakefront property to support their sustainable lifestyle.
06:46The first property had a resort-like backyard.
06:49Woodland Elegance is a traditional 4,500-square-foot home featuring four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
06:55The great room is framed by large windows with garden views.
06:59The kitchen has granite countertops and a breakfast room.
07:02The primary suite includes a walkout and an opulent marble en-suite.
07:06This property has exclusive access to a private lake on 100 feet of water frontage.
07:11Morning, Sarah and Alan.
07:12Good morning.
07:13I know you didn't like the pool at the last one, but this one's situated on an exclusive lake.
07:18Let's go take a look.
07:19Oh, wow.
07:23This is...
07:23I like this.
07:24This is beautiful.
07:26You have these large picture windows, so everything looks out to this natural view.
07:31We have a wood-burning fireplace here.
07:33I am absolutely blown away by these windows.
07:35Yeah, we can see ourselves using this room pretty much all the time.
07:39Let's go take a look at the kitchen, and Alan, you can come too.
07:43All right.
07:44Ooh.
07:45Wow.
07:46Very nice.
07:47Yeah.
07:48This kitchen has granite counters, all white cabinetry, and you're just one step down to
07:52your breakfast room over there.
07:54So I like that there's not a lot of work for me to do in this kitchen.
07:58However, I do feel a little bit enclosed.
08:00I agree.
08:01It would be nice if this was more of an open concept.
08:03Okay, well, I'm not sure this kitchen was the hit I was hoping for, but I think if we
08:07go up to the primary, it might win you back.
08:10Ooh.
08:11Looks nice and bright.
08:12Yeah.
08:14It's got a gas fireplace, and I thought that you would enjoy the balcony looking over the
08:18water.
08:19I don't think it's as spacious as the last house, but I really like the walkout to the water.
08:24It kind of extends the room a little bit.
08:27Glad you're loving it.
08:28I was a little concerned after the kitchen.
08:30Let's go have a look at the ensuite.
08:33Look at this.
08:34This is nice and spacious.
08:35Wow.
08:36Everything in here is marble, from the beautiful double vanity, the marble heated floors.
08:42The marble also surrounds your soaking tub.
08:45The space here is perfect for a golf simulator, definitely.
08:48But in all seriousness, I'm quite surprised at the size of the shower, given the space.
08:53Maybe you would want to put your vanity over here, and then you'd have plenty of room for
08:57a larger shower.
08:58I'm only one person, and renovations take a lot of time, especially in the bathroom.
09:02Let's take a look at a space that won't need as much work from you.
09:07We are on the side of the property that has the lakefront, of course.
09:10We've got about 100 feet of water frontage here, and beautiful green space over here,
09:16which is irrigated.
09:17I see more spots for more beehives, even our chicken coop, maybe even more gardens.
09:22Yes, this is exactly what we needed.
09:25Let's go check out the waterfront.
09:26Let's do it.
09:28Sarah and Alan, this is probably the most exclusive lakefront that you'll see.
09:33There are only 13 homes that have waterfront access here, and there's no motorized craft.
09:38This would be an amazing water source for our honeybees.
09:40They won't be disturbing anyone.
09:42You also will notice that there's a triple garage back there.
09:45It does have the 12-foot ceilings you would need for a golf simulator.
09:48Reba, you've knocked it out of the park.
09:53Sarah and Alan, we've just toured this beautiful lakefront property.
09:56It is 4,500 square feet, with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, on two acres, and with 100 feet
10:03of waterfront.
10:04This property is listed for $4 million.
10:08I thought it might be a little bit less than the last house.
10:11But the land is double the size.
10:14When we entered the main living space, the views of the lake were absolutely phenomenal.
10:19And I really liked that there was a wood-burning fireplace.
10:22Overall, I thought the kitchen was too small, but I really liked the primary bedroom.
10:27The walk-out deck gave the bedroom more square footage.
10:30I really liked the size of the ensuite.
10:32Just, I'm not sure I'm ready to take on a bathroom reno of that size.
10:37I thought the garden was absolutely beautiful.
10:40And the lakefront was calming and serene.
10:43And a three-car garage is the perfect place to put my golf simulator.
10:47Oh, is it?
10:48Yeah.
10:48I would like to see another house, though, with a finish en suite.
10:54Not a problem.
10:55I'll see what I can find.
10:56I really like the outside area.
10:58I thought it was absolutely beautiful.
11:00I like the house.
11:02I just want to see something with a finish en suite.
11:04Sarah and Alan are trading in their country home for a property by the water with enough land to grow vegetables, raise chickens, and house their honeybees.
11:18The first house had an outdoor resort, while the second property had access to a private lake.
11:24Modern Acres is a 4,400-square-foot contemporary home featuring five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
11:30The great room has expansive views of the lake.
11:33The open-concept kitchen includes an oversized island with quartz countertops.
11:37The primary suite provides waterfront views and a fully renovated en suite.
11:42This home has multiple outdoor areas, including a large terrace with 273 feet of water frontage.
11:49Hi, Sarah and Alan.
11:49How are you?
11:50Good.
11:51Good.
11:51How are you?
11:51Good.
11:52Okay, you asked for something a little bit more modern with no renos for you, Alan.
11:56And I think this house matches all the criteria.
11:59Let's have a look inside.
12:00Okay.
12:00Great.
12:02Wow.
12:03This is an amazing space.
12:05We're now in this elegant great room.
12:07And it's beautifully mirrored by this dining room that's behind.
12:11I absolutely love this space.
12:13I love that it's an open concept and the view to the lakefront is absolutely stunning.
12:18And I'm glad so far you're liking this space.
12:20Let's go take a look at the kitchen.
12:21Fair warning, Alan, there is no in-wool toaster in that kitchen.
12:27This is stunning.
12:28This is wonderful.
12:29It's nice and modern right off the bat.
12:31Your nine-foot island offers counter seating and looks out to the views.
12:35We have your gray and white veined countertops.
12:38We also have a great breakfast area over there.
12:41I absolutely love this kitchen.
12:43My only thing is I find that this island is a little big and I feel like I'd sort of always
12:48be reaching over.
12:49The good thing is we do have a whole walk-in pantry, which would serve as another baking
12:54area for you.
12:54That's amazing.
12:55I'm just happy that there's nothing for me to fix here.
12:58I'm glad this kitchen is working for you.
13:00Let's go check out the primary suite.
13:03Oh.
13:04Oh.
13:04Nice.
13:05This is nice.
13:06Upstairs, you have four additional bedrooms.
13:09So when your guests come, they're well separated from you and you can have your own privacy.
13:13This suite has floor-to-ceiling wall of windows that looks out to the waterfront here.
13:18Being able to see the lakefront just laying right in bed in the morning, it's absolutely beautiful.
13:22But the other two houses that we saw had somewhat of a walkout, so I kind of missed that a little
13:27bit.
13:28I am going to show you the ensuite, and I promise there's no renovations needed there.
13:34Wow.
13:35Yes.
13:36No renos.
13:37Exactly.
13:38So Sarah, you'll like that there is two sinks, and looking further down, you'll notice that
13:43beautiful soaking tub, which is just picture perfect in that window looking out to the
13:47water.
13:47I do love that there are two sinks in the vanity, so thank you for that.
13:50I see that they have a water closet here, but having it glass kind of defeats the purpose.
13:55What you could easily do that would not require your reno skills is just frosting this glass.
14:00Not a bad idea.
14:01I've got to show you another space in this house that I know you're going to love.
14:04This room is incredible.
14:07Got a wood-paneled wall, and you also have a stone wood-burning fireplace.
14:12I can definitely see us coming out here with some friends, and the fireplace is such a
14:15beautiful feature.
14:16I'm really impressed with this space.
14:18With this view, I'm thinking this room might be the good spot for me to put in my golf simulator.
14:24Um, I don't think so.
14:25I'll let you two work that one out, but let's go check out the outside.
14:29This is beautiful.
14:31Look at this.
14:32Look at the view, the lake.
14:34This property offers 273 feet of water frontage.
14:38You love to entertain, and this backyard is all about that.
14:42Yet you have a lot of acreage at the front, where we would keep our bees and our vegetable
14:46garden and our chicken coop as well.
14:49It is a perfect balance for a backyard, although I did notice there's a lot of noise coming from
14:53all the boating activity.
14:55This is a very active lake, so you'd have to gauge what the busiest times of day are.
14:59I'm glad you're seeing the potential in this property.
15:01Let's go inside and do a little recap.
15:03Sarah and Alan, we've just seen this modern lakefront property.
15:08It's got five bedrooms, four bathrooms, 4,400 square feet, and 273 feet of water frontage.
15:16The price of this property is $3.4 million.
15:19That's actually the least expensive out of all three.
15:22Yeah.
15:23Right away, when we walked into the great room, I absolutely loved the views of the lakefront.
15:27It was stunning.
15:28And then I was really impressed by how the views continued into the kitchen.
15:33I love the fact that it was modern and there's no renovations for me to do.
15:37The size of the primary bedroom was great, and the views were just as amazing.
15:42What was lacking was that there was no walkout.
15:44Reba, you finally showed us a non-suite where I didn't have to renovate anything.
15:48But I felt that having a glass wall and a water closet took away the privacy.
15:52That three-season room was a great size.
15:54I especially loved that there was a wood-burning fireplace.
15:58When we walked out to the lakefront side, I was so impressed with the expansiveness of it.
16:03I love the way this house has been divided with a generous amount of green space in the front yard,
16:07while backyard has room for guests.
16:10Now, my only concern with the lake is that it seems to be very busy,
16:13and I feel like that might take away from our peacefulness.
16:16Reba, you've shown us three amazing properties.
16:18We're going to need a bit of time to make our decision.
16:21I'll be here when you need me.
16:22Well, we've seen three amazing houses so far.
16:24I really don't know which house it's going to be.
16:28Oh, God.
16:33Real estate agent Reba Wilson has shown Sarah and Alan three stunning lakefront properties,
16:39each catering to the couple's pursuits and sustainability.
16:42Wow.
16:43Wow.
16:43What a beautiful view.
16:44I'm liking this.
16:46This room is incredible.
16:48But which beautiful lake home will they choose?
16:50Sarah and Alan, we've seen three amazing waterfront properties.
16:54I'd love to know your thoughts on the first property, Lifestyle Retreat.
16:57This Florida-inspired home is 6,500 square feet with four bedrooms and six bathrooms.
17:03The great room has 18-foot vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace.
17:07The kitchen and dining area include a spacious island, a breakfast nook, and large windows with lake views.
17:12The primary suite has a private walkout overlooking the lake at 407 feet of water frontage.
17:20Lifestyle Retreat is listed at $4.15 million.
17:23Walking into the great room, I was really impressed by the height of the ceiling and the views.
17:28And I thought the fireplace was great.
17:30The kitchen was large and bright, and there was lots of space for me to process my honey.
17:35But there would be some cosmetic work to do.
17:37Well, the primary bedroom was a great size, and I really liked the walkout.
17:42My concern is that I would have to renovate the en suite.
17:45Walking outdoors with a pool and a tiki hut, I felt like I was walking to a resort.
17:50However, having a lake, I don't think we need the pool, and that's not what we're about environmentally.
17:56When we approached that dock, I thought it was so calm, and I could really picture us paddleboarding down there.
18:03And I liked that the garage had the space to set up my golf simulator.
18:06And what did you think about the second property we saw, Woodland Elegance?
18:09This 4,500-square-foot home has four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
18:14The great room houses large windows with garden views.
18:17The kitchen has granite countertops and a breakfast room.
18:21The primary suite has a walkout and a spacious marble en suite.
18:24Outdoors, there's multiple green spaces and exclusive access to a private lake with 100 feet of water frontage.
18:31Woodland Elegance is on the market for $4 million.
18:34Walking into the living space, I absolutely love the views from those windows.
18:38But I thought the kitchen was too small and a bit isolated from the rest of the house.
18:44The primary bedroom was very spacious and very bright.
18:48However, because it's outdated, that en suite is definitely a good job.
18:52When you took us to that green space, I was amazed at how large it was.
18:56I can definitely see us putting some hives in there.
18:59Finally, when we went down to the lakefront, I really loved how calm and relaxing that area was.
19:05And what are your thoughts on the third property we saw, Modern Acres?
19:08This contemporary home is 4,400 square feet and features five bedrooms and four bathrooms.
19:14The great room has lake views, while the open concept kitchen includes an oversized island with quartz countertops.
19:20The primary suite includes a fully renovated en suite.
19:23This home also has a screened-in porch with a fireplace, a large concrete terrace with 273 feet of water frontage.
19:31Modern Acres is priced at $3.4 million.
19:33When we walked into the great room, I loved the views of the lake and the fact that it was modern with no renovations needed.
19:40I like how the lake views continued into the kitchen, but I think I would prefer a smaller island, one that I can walk around.
19:48In the primary bedroom, I thought the size was great.
19:50The views were fantastic, but there was no walkout.
19:54Reba, finally we were in an en suite that did not need to be renovated.
19:58I loved how beautiful the marble was in that space.
20:02The three-season room was my favorite room in that house, and my favorite part about that room is the wood-burning fireplace.
20:09Walking outdoors, I thought the lake view was phenomenal, and I couldn't believe how large the patio was.
20:15My only concern is that the lake might be too busy with boats.
20:19So guys, what property would you eliminate?
20:20I think we're going to eliminate the lifestyle retreat.
20:25There's just too many renovations to do in that property.
20:28Sarah and Alan, which property have you chosen?
20:30Ella?
20:31We've chosen Modern Acres.
20:33Oh, let me ask you why.
20:36We can do our sustainability stuff in the front of the yard with our chicken coops and our bees, and then we can enjoy the backyard together with our friends and family.
20:45I have to say, I couldn't be any more excited for you.
20:49I can't believe we're getting our house on the lake.
20:53It was a tough decision, but that one had definitely the best balance between what we wanted and how to create a sustainable, natural lifestyle for us.
21:01The only thing is, is I'm not quite sure where you're going to put your golf simulator.
21:05I don't need a golf simulator if I have you, babe.
21:07Aw.
21:19Aw.
21:20Aw.
