Indio Lake offers a secret location set back on the edge of woodland and bordered by fields behind. The main 2.7 acre lake was established by monks in the neighbouring ‘In Deo’ Monastery. Throughout the year, the verdant backdrop is embellished with the alternating colours of luminescent water lilies, be-jewelled rhododendrons and fiery autumn beeches. Ducks and moorhens live and breed on islands in the lake and impressive ancient specimen Carp thrive in the waters. A cluster of only 12 lodges nestle between the lush vegetation surrounding the historic lake, and an adjoining ½ acre pond, all set within in a 9 acre arboretum. Each lodge enjoys a fabulous position on the waters edge, cradled within the existing landscape, with perfect views across the lake itself and glimpsing views beyond to Dartmoor. The lodges are integrated harmoniously into the landscape and the visual impact is limited. Peace and a sensitive environment is paramount to the enjoyment of owning and staying in these non-invasive holiday homes.

The bustling village of Bovey Tracey is within walking distance with numerous shops, a health centre, museums, pubs and restaurants providing for all daily requirements. Tennis courts, a swimming pool, cricket pitch and bowling lawns are located 100 yards from the entrance to Indio Lake. The cathedral city of Exeter is a 15 minute drive away. The great outdoors is there for the taking, evoking childhood memories of exploration and discovery in a countryside which is largely unaltered and surprisingly similar to that which is fondly recalled. Excellent walking is bountiful and varied. Extensive riverside walks at Parke, headquarters of the Dartmoor National Park, are less than 2 miles away. The dramatic sweep of the wild and rugged Dartmoor National Park is also a mere 2 miles away with 368 square miles of wide open space in which to evaporate the strains of everyday life.

The new homes on this development have now all been sold.
