An exceptional and unique luxury lakeside home. Thoughtfully designed with style, comfort, and indulgence in mind, The Lookout is a modern lakeside home set within the award-winning Silverlake Estate near Dorchester. Every element of this contemporary four-bedroom property has been curated to offer a relaxed yet refined experience, blending laid-back living with elevated design and exceptional amenities.

The Lookout is set within the heart of the Silverlake estate, a pioneering development on the site of a former quarry, now carefully reimagined as a tranquil nature reserve and sustainable, design-led retreat. Surrounded by clear-water lakes, heathland and woodland, the estate blends ecological sensitivity with outdoor living. Guests here enjoy the best of both worlds - immersed in nature, with premium facilities at their fingertips. Exclusive to residents and guests, the Hurricane Spa offers an outdoor heated pool, roof terrace with loungers and bar, sauna, and a modern gym - all set beside the calm waters of Beaumont Lake and accessed for free via passes provided at the property (treatments not included). Whether you're after a refreshing swim, a moment of stillness, or an energising workout, it's all within easy walking distance of The Lookout. For dining and drinks, the Hurricane Terrace & Bar serves locally sourced beverages and light snacks in a relaxed, informal setting with lake views - no booking needed. On selected days, the Hurricane Pop-Up provides a casual food offering, from morning coffee and breakfast through to pizza and dinner, served near the estate’s family-friendly Games Green. The Activity Hub is a central part of life at Silverlake, offering access to a wide variety of outdoor equipment available to hire for a fee. Borrow bikes, paddleboards, kayaks and tennis gear to explore the lakes and trails at your own pace. Children can take part in football coaching or wildlife trails, while adults can join guided walks or take a moment to themselves on the estate’s quiet island or along its reed-lined boardwalks. Though the setting feels deeply peaceful, you’re surprisingly well connected. The lively market town of Dorchester is just a 15-minute drive away, offering museums, restaurants, independent shops and direct rail connections to London Waterloo.
