What
is the square area of Paradise? In so many of the world beauty spots there
is an annoying city or freeway that degrades the view. There
are a few still pristine places, but the crush of people is so heavy, you
are always surrounded. There is noise. There is car exhaust. There is...
Patagonia to escape to. San Carlos de Bariloche is perched above the lovely
Nahuel Huapi Lake with brazos (arms) stretching off as far as the imagination
can wander. El Bolson a couple of hours south does not have the downtown
lake but just turn to the west and the massive wall of rock rises thousands
of feet above you. Mountains completely encircle the town but the wall
draws your eye and you feel like an ant. Most people just gasp as
the clouds pull back and you see the true height of the peaks. A few minutes
drive south and across the Rio Negro Province border, and into Chubut Province,
there
is Lago Puelo spread before an array of snowy peaks. From Lago Puelo north
to Bariloche, then on to Villa la Angostura and finally to San Martin de
Los Andes: my Paradise. When the crowds come, the exits are everywhere.
There is the Lake or you can travel deeper in as pavement turns to gravel,
then to dirt, and buildings begin to disappear among the trees. The Lake
country of Argentina is dominated by a mix of truly awesome mountains,
and intensely beautiful lakes. Sprinkle in a few graceful volcanos and
you have a wild masterpiece outside your windows. No matter which side
of which lake you find yourself on, the colors will surprise you. The sky
is childhood-blue and the water is so clear you can easily pick out stones
on the bottom even from the top of the surrounding ridges. - Living

 If
you dream in lush lakefront landscapes, flowing waterfalls and dense woodlands
just steps away from waterfront property, then it’s time to get acquainted
with the Plitvice Lakes in the temperate European paradise of Croatia.
Tucked between the countries of Bosnia and Slovenia, Croatia is a friendly
and popular country that enjoys some of the warmest weather in Europe.
While it hugs the eastern part of the Adriatic Sea, there’s no denying
that Croatia enjoys a uniquely Mediterranean lifestyle that rivals that
of Italy and Greece. White-washed villages line the ocean coast,
while friendly villagers insist on welcoming international tourists with
open arms and plates filled with delicious Croatian foods. - Plitvice

 Gorgeous
sunshine. Warm Southern hospitality. Pristine mountain waters.
When it comes to the most beautiful lake reserve in sunny South Carolina,
Lake Keowee needs no introduction. If you’ve yet to experience the magic
of this beautiful lake, then you’re in for a real treat. Derived
from the Cherokee word for “Place of Mulberries”, Lake Keowee is a man-made
lake reserve that’s located in upstate South Carolina; in fact, it’s the
largest one east of the Mississippi. Lake Keowee is considered a
nature lover’s paradise, and it’s no wonder: with over 18,000 acres of
water to its name and 300 miles of awe-inspiring mountain vistas, Lake
Keowee offers a veritable feast of Mother Nature’s finest landscapes. Lake

 There’s
nothing quite like the English countryside. Green and rolling pastures,
picturesque villages and a quieter pace of life make the British country
one of the most desirable real estate areas in the entire United Kingdom
– and possibly the world. If you’re in the market for international
waterfront property and are interested in experiencing a quaint lifestyle
that’s filled with old English traditions and gorgeous lakeside living,
then look no further than Bassenthwaite Lake in England’s famed Lake District.
The Lake District is known for its gorgeous landscapes and beautiful bodies
of water, but technically, there’s only one “lake” in the Lake District
– the rest are comprised of “waters”, “meres” and “tarns” (the name is
given depending on the size of the body of water). Bassenthwaite

 If
it’s the Hollywood A-list lifestyle you’re lusting after, then look no
further than waterfront property on Lake Como in Lombardy, Italy.
Palatial mansions grace the shorelines of this glacier lake, while aristocratic
castles cut into the steep country hills that descend into Europe’s third
largest lake. For centuries, movie stars, European aristocracy and
Swiss financiers alike have carved out hidden paradises in Lake Como, making
this lake one of the most popular tourist destinations in all of Italy;
recent archeological finds have even determined that Roman nobles often
visited Lake Como. As you drive along the shoreline of Lake Como
(which boasts an impressive area size of 146 km²), you could end up
passing by George Clooney, or waving hello to Sylvester Stallone or billionaire
entrepreneur Richard Branson.. - Lake

 For
centuries, mankind has believed that the physical world and the spiritual
world collide on the waters of expansive lakes
– and if you’re looking for waterfront property on Lake Titicaca, you’ll
quickly become a believer. Known as the cradle of the ancient Incan
civilization, Lake Titicaca is one of the world’s largest lakes; in fact,
it’s so large that it stretches through two countries: Peru and Bolivia.
Here in Lake Titicaca, you’ll experience a world that’s far removed from
the ordinary. Locals engage in commercial business while dressed
in ancient Incan ceremonial wear; tourists mingle with tribes people, who
have perfectly preserved the language of their ancient forefathers; and
innovative industrial advances are made in an area that’s quickly becoming
a worldwide economic force. - Lake

 The
ability to time travel may still be in the world of science fiction, but
if you want to get a taste of the Ice Age without bending the laws of quantum
physics, then it’s time to search for homes for sale in Peyto Lake.
This eerily-blue lake is fed by the only remaining glaciers from the last
Ice Age more than 10,000 years ago, meaning you can swim in the ancient
waters of prehistory right outside your waterfront property in Canada.
Blue rock granules from the glaciers collect in the waters and, when hit
by the sun’s reflections, create a gorgeous turquoise hue that wouldn’t
be out of place deep in the Caribbean. Peyto Lake (the locals pronounce
it as “pea-toe”) was named after Bill Peyto, the self-educated English
explorer and trapper who first discovered it in 1894. Lake

 What
do you think of when you imagine waterfront property in the West Coast?
Do you think of a relaxed lifestyle? Gorgeous waterfront property
with unparalleled views of land and water? Easy access to water sports,
hiking, fishing and all the other amenities to lakefront living?
If this sounds like a dream to you, then it’s time for an introduction
to Lake Chelan – one of the best-kept lakefront secrets in the United States.
Located in Chelan County in Washington, Chelan Lake is the largest lake
in the state. Boasting a 55-mile shoreline that stretches into the
northern part of the state and is one and a half miles across, Chelan Lake
(the Salish tribal word for “deep water”) certainly lives up to its name;
at 1,486 feet, Chelan Lake is the third-deepest lake in the United States
and weighing in as the 24th deepest in the world, an impressive feat for
a lake which wasn’t discovered by American explorers until the 19th-century.

 If
you’re looking for active lakefront living in one of the most beautiful
countries in the world, then look no further than gorgeous Lake Annecy
in France. Nestled between the rugged and
pristine mountains of the French Alps and just 30 miles away from the Geneva
border, Lake Annecy is a French treasure waiting for the world to discover
it. Mountainous shorelines, a slower pace of life and 24/7 access
to wonderful French amenities and activities make Lake Annecy a popular
choice for international waterfront property. It’s estimated that Lake
Annecy formed over 18,000 years ago during the last Ice Age, when the alpine
glaciers melted to form this aqueous paradise on Earth. Smaller rivers
that wind through the Alps continue to feed this glacial lake, which gives
the water a crystal-clear appearance that’s unrivalled by any other lake
in France. Lake Annecy is also unique in that it’s one of the
few European lakes that’s fed by an underground source (known to the locals
as the Boubioz), which makes this lake particularly resilient against droughts.

 For
some, getting away from the hustle and bustle of modern life involves escaping
to a spa or country hotel. But for others,
it means relaxing in waterfront property nestled in unspoiled and pristine
natural surroundings that appear as though they’ve remained untouched by
mankind since the beginning of time. If the latter is more of your
style, then it’s time to introduce yourself to the wild beauty and unrivalled
splendor of Mirror Lake in New
Zealand. Mirror Lake (also known as Lake Matheson) has earned
its name due to the stunning crystal-clear reflections captured by its
glacial waters. For example, one can find the stunning peaks of Mount
Cook and Mount Tasman on the surface of the water. If these surrounding
mountains look familiar to you, it’s because both were featured in the
blockbuster Lord of the Rings trilogy. In fact, you’ll feel as though
you stepped right into Middle Earth as you take in the gorgeous scenery
that encompasses Mirror Lake. - Mirror
