See Website: www.516Hillandale.com Renovated in 2026, this Modern Mediterranean home is designed to capture its surroundings, with expansive windows framing lake, island, and mountain views.

A standout feature is the indoor pool and wellness retreat, complete with exercise pool and waterfall, hot tub, and infrared sauna, all oriented to capture tranquil lake views with one-touch controls for ease of use. Just beyond the spa, an attached year-round greenhouse—fully heated and cooled—elevates the home into a true wellness estate, offering a private, climate-controlled environment to cultivate fresh herbs, fruits, and vegetables in every season. The Spa Level opens to a covered lakefront deck with built-in pizza oven, lake-facing bar seating, TV outlet, and LED lighting—ideal for golden hour dining.
