Lake view, direct access to the garden, parking

Fantastic location, panoramic view of the mountains and lake, direct access to the garden, very quiet yet centrally located. The driveway is narrow and steep, not paved. There are parking spaces next to the house. Not suitable for VANs. Only possible on request. Turning the vehicle is difficult. The property is very suitable for 2 - 3 people or families with 2 children. With 4 people and the two beds in the living room, it gets cramped. Parking is not guaranteed for VAN.
