This luxurious contemporary waterfront home on Lake Sammamish boasts 75 feet of waterfront and dream-worthy lake and mountain views. Surrounded by woods, view terraces and extensive gardens, the home has a secluded feel, yet it's just minutes from Seattle. The interior is flooded with light from window walls and filled with art. With 3 living areas and outdoor seating areas plus a boathouse/cabana, this home is perfect for gatherings. High-end amenities and personal service add to its appeal. The space A stay at this incomparable 5-star waterfront home is much more than an accommodation. From the moment you step inside the front door you will be treated to magnificent views of Lake Sammamish and the mountains beyond, beautiful spaces filled with light and art, luxurious touches and over-the-top amenities. Blue Heron Lakehouse has a personality all its own, with a colorful collection of contemporary art that adds to the visual appeal. Though Blue Heron Lakehouse is just 20 minutes from downtown Bellevue and 30 minutes from Seattle, it’s surrounded by woods, gardens and water, giving a sense of privacy and making a stay here a true getaway. Northwest-inspired gardens, expansive flower borders and a natural waterfront draw wildlife ranging from deer and raccoons to bald eagles to the home’s iconic great blue heron. The great room features a large, curving sectional and leather swivel chairs facing the lake. This expansive space also holds a granite-and-stainless chef’s kitchen with cherry cabinets and high-end appliances, including a Thermador range top with 6 burners. The kitchen is filled with every possible appliance and cookware, including a Ninja air fryer and Ninja blender, All-Clad stainless cookware, a plethora of kitchen implements and absolutely everything needed to prepare feasts. The dining area features a live-edge table for 8 and comfortable leather dining chairs. A balcony off the dining area has a bistro set for morning coffee, with a spiral staircase stepping down to the upper terrace. Also on this level, the media lounge features a full wet bar with Sub-Zero beverage fridge and a variety of contemporary cocktail and wine glasses. A leather sectional offers comfortable viewing for the 75” flat-screen with 5.1 surround-sound, and a nook holds a poker/games table. The spacious, elegant main suite is on this level. It has a desk and office chair, as well as abundant closet space, his-and-her sinks and a two-person shower. There is also a bunk room for 4 on this level. On the lower level, a canary-yellow modern sectional in the family room faces a 65” flat-screen. There are three bedrooms on this level, including the Stream Room (king), a spacious room with a window wall and French doors overlooking a peaceful shade garden and stream; the Patio Suite (queen), with French doors opening to a leafy, private side patio; and the Lakeview Room (queen), with a stunning view of the lake through a window wall with French doors opening to the upper terrace and nearby hot tub. All the bedrooms feature soft linens, cushy bathrobes and fluffy duvets for peaceful slumbers, and the bathrooms offer a range of comforts, from heated floors and natural soap and shampoo products to curbless showers with rain-shower heads. Outdoors, terraces surrounded by lush gardens stairstep down to the lake. On the upper terrace, a hot tub for 6-8 has fantastic views of the gardens and lake beyond. The shady North patio, just around the corner, is a private space with a 4-top, and on the southern border our Zen Garden features a natural stream and waterfall, surrounded by ferns and other native plants. The home’s star attraction is The Boathouse, with glass windows and sliders on two sides overlooking the lake and gardens. Originally a building for housing boats, this renovated space today holds a bar and seating area with couches. Just off the boathouse, a wooden deck extending nearly over the lake has a fire table surrounded by outdoor furniture. Sliding doors in the boathouse open wide to a flagstone dining terrace with a 42” pro Lynx grill and teak table for 8, with a lush lawn just beyond. Down a few steps, the lakeside terrace is the length of a basketball court, bordered by a fenced organic vegetable garden at one end. Guests are welcome to enjoy fresh-picked peas, beans, basil and more, depending on the season. This terrace is tiled with vintage blue dance floor tiles. Our cornhole game here is a fun option. Our long dock gets you out into the heart of the action on the lake, and Adirondack chairs give you the ideal viewing spot for watching wake surfers balance atop waves. Lake Sammamish is the warmest Western Washington lake, making it ideal for swimming, and you can dive right off the end of our dock. We have three stable kayaks for exploring the lake or bring your own boat to get in on the boating action; we have boat whips and a solar boat lift. Half the fun of a stay at Blue Heron Lakehouse is watching wildlife. In addition to great blue herons and various waterfowl, black-capped chickadees, blue jays and other birds are drawn in by our birdfeeders and a bird bath. For a thrilling experience, watch as one of our resident bald eagles soars over your head then swiftly swoops down to pluck a fish out of the lake. When dusk arrives, the lake turns pastel hues reflecting the sunset, twinkling string lights illuminate the gardens and the fire table glows, while jasmine perfumes the air. When you’re ready to retire you’ll retreat to a quiet, luxurious suite or room. The home’s numerous comforts include air-conditioning, smart Nest thermostats and a Sonos whole-house sound system, so you can listen to your favorite tunes anywhere on the property. There is ample parking space—a rarity on the lake—with room for 2 cars in front and 6 in a private gravel lot, with hillside stairs leading down to the house. Blue Heron Lakehouse has been a private retreat for families and friends for more than 15 years.
