This 12,000 sq ft, seven-bedroom house has a reception room that spans the entire top floor, with full-length windows that overlook a lake and gardens.

With an elevated sleeping area for two, plus sofabed, the eight wooden barrels overlook the lake, with views of the surrounding mountains.

Five sites are next to the lake; the other six are nearby and are high enough to overlook the lake.

Most of the houses overlook the lake with no buildings to obstruct the view.

The emerald colour of the water comes from rock flour carried into the lake by melt-water from the glaciers that overlook the lake.
