A Lakeside Gem Where Design Meets Tranquility

A Lakeside Gem Where Design Meets Tranquility
Tucked into the Monck Park community on the shores of Nicola Lake, this South African–inspired retreat is a showpiece of craftsmanship and calm. Listed at $1,895,000, the five-bedroom, five-bathroom home at 6588 Monck Park Road blends resort-style living with the soul of a family getaway — the kind of place where every sunrise feels like an invitation to stay a little longer.
A Home with a Story
Built by Rick Mettler Construction in 2007, this 3,559-square-foot residence tells its story through thoughtful materials and handcrafted details. The 500-year-old reclaimed Chinese elm flooring immediately sets a tone of authenticity and warmth. Large picture windows frame the ever-changing moods of Nicola Lake, while wood and metal accents create a balance of rustic and refined.
Every element feels intentional. There is a sense that the home wasn’t simply designed; it was curated, with textures and tones that celebrate both place and purpose.
Where Indoors and Outdoors Flow Together
The open-concept kitchen, dining and living area was built for connection. Sleek countertops and high-end appliances make entertaining effortless, while expansive glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and out.
Step through to an outdoor kitchen equipped with a Jetmaster wood-burning BBQ, bar fridge and sink. The lake view stretches wide, offering a natural stage for long summer dinners or fireside evenings under the stars. It’s easy to imagine this space alive with laughter, music and the scent of woodsmoke drifting over the water.
A Sanctuary for Every Season
Five bedrooms, including one with a loft, ensure there’s room for family and guests. Each space has its own character — some cozy and quiet, others open and airy — all designed to invite rest and reflection. With five bathrooms, comfort and privacy are guaranteed for everyone who stays.
The landscaped 43,125-square-foot lot offers direct water access, perfect for swimming, kayaking or simply dipping your toes in the shallows. In winter, the same setting transforms into a peaceful snow-covered escape, where the only sound is the crackle of the fire.
Designed for Living Boldly
Adventure lovers will appreciate the detached 21 × 30 ft garage, ideal for storing boats, ATVs and gear. There’s ample indoor storage too, keeping everything neat and organized. Hiking trails nearby make exploration easy, while the community’s quiet charm offers a sense of privacy that’s increasingly rare.
A Life That Feels Like a Getaway
For those who crave a lifestyle where nature, design and leisure meet, this waterfront property is a dream realized. It’s not only a home to return to; it’s a destination in itself — a place to unwind, reconnect and rediscover the simple pleasures of lakeside living.
This is a home where luxury whispers rather than shouts, and where every detail tells a story of craftsmanship, comfort and calm.
